Fiction. "Kevin Holohan's strange yet disconcertingly recognizable world has echoes of Flann O'Brien's and Monty Python's, but there is rage as well as absurdist comedy. THE BROTHERS' LOT is a memorable, skillfully wrought, and evocative satire of an Ireland that has collapsed under the weight of its contradictions"—Joseph O'Connor. "The mix of dire experiences that goes into the education dished out at the Brothers of Godly Coercion School for Young Boys of Meager Means adds up to a mordantly funny debut from Dublin native Holohan"—Publishers Weekly.
