Little constructions : a novel

There is a good deal of gallows humor in this story about a small town, Tiptoe Floorboard, that is dominated by the Doe clan, whose criminal activities dominate the lives of everyone, until Jetty Doe steals a Kalishnikov from a gun store. As in her other book, Milkman, for which she was awarded the Dublin Literary Award 2020, Anna Burns reveals the truth about unjust behavior that everyone knows is taking place, but few have the gumption to call out. Burns is not a writer who will look away and she will not allow us to do that.
