I loved this collection for its delicacy and the subtle intelligence of the writing. Kennedy shies away from nothing; she gives us all that is ugly and cruel, but does so in a way that is beautiful, lyrical, and lonely. These are stories that make me want to get out into the open, to feel and breathe and remind myself again of what it is to be alive.A] dark, funny, brilliantly downbeat Irish debut. Bitterness, beauty and a caustic wit colour Kennedy's stories, as the past makes itself unforgettably present in the lives of her vividly drawn characters Eberstadt, Rudolf (December 1909).

This story is told using the mother's inner thoughts and observations of other people's reactions to her son. One of the best descriptions of an Irish pub scene I've read. The title story is set on a ghost estate. It's told by a wife who we gradually learn has been abandoned by her developer husband who was caught with no chair when the music stopped in 2008. There's a great scene late where the narrator is in bed with Mike but remembering being in bed with Davy. In many stories the natural world, with its animal appetites and feral, sexual energy, impinges on the urban. A pregnant woman accidentally witnesses her husband commit adultery with an agricultural science student in the lambing shed, shattering her sense of self-worth; while in another story a man shoots a hare that he knows his partner adores: “There was a treacly hole at the front of his head, his eyes were hazel and still.”

BOOK REVIEW: THE END OF THE WORLD IS A CUL DE SAC

Inferential evidence of their earlier use can also be drawn from the text of a German architect, Rudolf Eberstadt, that explains their purpose and utility: [6] Increases in pedestrian and bicycle permeability may result in a displacement of local car trips for short-distance destinations [22] and consequently a reduction in neighbourhood vehicle emissions. The impermeable cul-de-sac not only discourages walking and biking but also increases the length of car trips by the circuitous geometry of the dendrite network structure of which it is a part. Research studies examined the influence of several variables on the amount of car travel that residents of several types of districts recorded. Results vary considerably among them, but there is general agreement on a number of key correlations: [31] [32] a) the wealthier and the larger the family is, the more cars they own, and the more they drive, b) the farther away a family lives from the city centre, and the fewer the jobs in the vicinity, plus a slow bus service, the more they drive, and c) street patterns may add a 10% length to local trips, but the total VKTs are affected more by the "macro" urban than the "micro" neighbourhood structure. In British English, the phrase "close" is generally used as a suffix for residential cul-de-sac roads, although several variants exist similar to those used in Commonwealth countries. a b c Safire, William (2008-07-13).

Cul-de-sac and loop streets can reduce the size of any given neighbourhood to a single street. Neighbourhoods can be defined by geographic boundaries but more often it is shared ethnic, socioeconomic and cultural characteristics that produce social cohesion irrespective of apparent physical "boundaries". Mehaffy et al. (2010), who propose a model for structuring an urban network, suggest that neighbourhoods cannot be designed into being. [37] "Community" is viewed as a dynamic social and cultural construct, especially in contemporary, open, multicultural cities. Residential area street configuration can assist its emergence only by reducing through-traffic and increasing local pedestrian movement–a design goal for which connected cul-de-sac and looped streets are suited.Gritty, bitter, hard-won, the fifteen stories in this first collection feel a world away from the seeming solipsism of the younger generation of female Irish writers who are conquering the literary world … Kennedy's voice, and her unforgiving gaze, are electric a b "cul-de-sac".

In these visceral, stunningly crafted stories by the author of the much-acclaimed Trespasses, women’s lives are etched by poverty—material, emotional, sexual—but also splashed by beauty, sometimes even joy, as they search for the good in the cards they’ve been dealt.
