Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Devastating, tough and tender, a portrait of modern masculinity as shaped by violence and poverty but also by the courage to love and to surviveAnthony grew up brawling with the headcases round the estate, torching stolen cars, beaking school. His little brother Sean was supposed to be different. He was supposed to leave and never come back.But Sean does come back. Finished with university, he finds Anthony's drinking spiralling out of control as the dark shadow of his childhood catches up on him. Meanwhile the jobs in Belfast have vanished and no one will give Sean the time of day. One night he loses it and assaults a stranger at a party, and everything is tipped into chaos.Close to Home witnesses the aftermath of this mistake, as Sean attempts to make sense of who he has become, and to find a way through the rubble. And it maps, with great compassion, the forces which keep young working class men in harm's way, the silences that exist in the gaps between what is sayable, and the formidable courage required to survive.

Book Description Condition: New. 2023. Hardback. Kennys Limited Edition. Signed and numbered by the author. Includes extra content in the form of an exclusive interview with the author. Luminous and devastating, a portrait of modern masculinity as shaped by class, by trauma, and by silence, but also by the courage to love and to survive. Sean's brother Anthony is a hard man. When they were kids their ma did her best to keep him out of trouble but you can't say anything to Anto. Sean was supposed to be different. He was supposed to leave and never come back. But Sean does come back. Arriving home after university, he finds Anthony's drinking is worse than ever. Meanwhile the jobs in Belfast have vanished, Sean's degree isn't worth the paper it's written on and no one will give him the time of day. One night he loses control and assaults a stranger at a party, and everything is tipped into chaos. Close to Home witnesses the aftermath of that night, as Sean attempts to make sense of who he has become, and to reckon with the relationships that have shaped him, for better and worse. Drawing from his own experiences, Michael Magee examines the forces which keep young working class men in harm's way, in a debut novel which shines with intelligence and humanity on every page. Close to Home is an extraordinary work of fiction about deciding what kind of a man you want to be and finding your place in the scarred city you call home. . . . .
