Posh Knackers Author:Owen Ross My family's history and folklore is of being upper middle class and Dublin Irish Protestant. My stories have been called "Angela's Ashes on acid." With our posh pronounced accents we never escaped the taunts from people assuming we were English. Before any of that can happen, Daddy will have to drink deep and gorge the property and jewellery h... more »e and Mummy inherited, before fleeing sharpish for self preservation reasons. We'll live on the streets for a while and eventually we'll get to move to some tough areas of Dublin. The stories are based in Dublin from 1978-1988, although sometimes it meanders further back. It's got tea with Queen Salote of Tonga, a forced taxi ride with some burly nurses to the funny farm, coal rustling, stew runs, belly rumbles, childhood fantasies brought back from the dead and much more. - Owen Ross« less
