Summary

A bookseller without a bookshop, a rapper covered in scars, a dyslexic punk who loves opera, a singer who loves x-factor, a mattress too big for the bed of yesteryear, yet another bomb threat... The bookseller of Belfast has built his ark on the scaffolding of his little brick house, where hundreds of unsold volumes tell the story of the wreckage of a city. John Clancy seeks a new path through pages yellowed by time and cigarettes consumed without moderation.
