An excellent collection of writing about working class lives by working class writers. Mostly narrative and creative non-fiction with a stray poem and essay thrown in. 4/5 because not each work landed with me personally, but I do not regret reading each and every one. Personal highlights: "Tough" by Tony Walsh (Longfella), "The Funeral and the Wedding" by Jodie Russian-Red, "Steve" by Daljit Nagra, "No Lay, No Pay" by Paul Allen, "I am not your Tituba" by Eva Verde, "Uniform" by Damian Barr... Honestly, I should just list the lot!
