Having spent a fair amount of time in Bucharest and Romania I can safely say that Ó Ceallaigh has captured its grim and fascinating allure to a T. These stories are so compelling in their slice-of-lifeness the book ends up feeling like a big juicy pamphlet - you just get through it too quickly. He has captured the botched struggling fascinating pit that is Romania in truly wondrous words and I wish the book had been triple the length.
