A National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree Winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the Guardian First Book Award, and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature Enter the small, rural town of Glanbeigh, a place whose fate took a downturn with the Celtic Tiger, a desolate spot where buffoonery and tension simmer and erupt, and booze-sodden boredom fills the corners of every pub and nightclub. Here, and in the towns beyond, the young live hard and wear the scars. Amongst them, there's jilted Jimmy, whose best friend Tug is the terror of the town and Jimmy's sole company in his search for the missing Clancy kid; Bat, a lovesick soul with a face like "a bowl of mashed up spuds" even before Nubbin Tansey's boot kicked it in; and Arm, a young and desperate criminal whose destiny is shaped when he and his partner, Dympna, fail to carry out a job. In each story, a local voice delineates the grittiness of post boom Irish society. These are unforgettable characters rendered through silence, humor, and violence. Told in Barrett's vibrant, distinctive prose, Young Skins is an accomplished and irreverent debut from a singular new voice in contemporary fiction.Binding Type: Paperback

A Wake-Up Call Every Man Needs
Format: Paperback
This book is a game changer. The Superior Men is direct, unapologetic, and packed with truth. It challenges you to step up, take ownership of your life, and embrace discipline, strength, and purpose. In a world that often tries to water down masculinity, this book reminds you of what it truly means to be a man.
I found myself highlighting entire pages. It doesn’t waste time with fluff—it gets straight to the point and hits hard. If you’re serious about leveling up mentally, physically, and spiritually, this book belongs on your shelf.
Highly recommend to any man ready to rise above mediocrity and live with intention.

Todos los hombres a partir de los 16 deberían leerlo
Format: Paperback
Así como dice, una guía espiritual, he visto como varias figuras públicas en Youtube recomiendan esta obra.
No unicamente recomiendo esto a los hombres, considero también que las mujeres lo analicen y entiendan sus principios.
Hablando del contenido, este explica muy bien conceptos que se han ido perdiendo en nosotros los hombres, su rol como persona masculina, su deseo de libertad y el mismo deseo sexual hacia las mujeres femeninas.
Gracias a este libro pude descubrir una nueva área que no había visto dentro de mi, y me ha ayudado a darle rumbo a mi propósito de vida.
