DESCRIPTION
Set over one weekend in the life of a sixty-six year-old man, About to Fall Apart is a thrilling kaleidoscope of thoughts, failures, disappointments and hope. 'Poignant and tender.' FERDIA LENNON
'A dynamic voice.' IRENOSEN OKOJIE
'Lushly written and formally audacious.' NICOLAS PADAMSEE
This is the story of one man's weekend, a weekend in which everything could change
These lines could change everything /
He sips more of his tinny /
Imagines a new life
Aidy's just punched a co-worker, but he hasn't got time to deal with the fallout. With a deadline fast looming he must get home, knuckle down and finish the story he's been working on, a story he hasn't been able to stop thinking about. It's the story of a falling plane and of a grieving mother.
Set across one weekend, About to Fall Apart is the exhilarating story of a man of mixed heritage - living on the Irish border - as he tries to stay positive, reconnect with his children and maybe, even, find his own birth mother.
