ANTHONY MCGOWAN

A funny and contemporary tale of Hector Brunty's attempts to survive at school with the help of Henry, his talking brain tumour . . .

A fun take on some of the biggest questions in economics made accessible for non experts and dogs

The smiling one; the one who hurt; the shy one; the one who cried; the one who kissed - that is how he remembers the gang of boys who tormented him when he was a child. Now twenty years have passed and it is time to make them pay. But into the finely wrought net stumbles one man who had nothing to do with the nastiness in that minor public school. Matthew Moriarty carries demons of his own, but when Dominic Chance invites him along to a stag weekend in a remote country house, lost on a fold of the country beyond the reach of mobile telephones, he could never imagine the horror that awaits. Or the beauty. "Stag Hunt" tells the story of ghosts, of demons, of revenge, of desire; and finally of the possibility of redemption through love.

Kenny no ve el mundo como el resto de los niños: eso es algo que Nicky, su hermano menor, aprendió cuando era pequeño. Desde entonces se ha encargado de cuidarlo, en especial luego de que su madre los abandonara varios años atras y su padre se dedicara a beber. La situacion ha mejorado mucho, pero ahora que su madre los encontro y esta a punto de visitarlos, Kenny esta bastante inquieto y Nicky, confundido. Para despejar su mente, ambos hermanos deciden dar una caminata por los paramos en compañia de Tina, su perrita. Pero lo que estaba pensado como un tranquilo paseo pronto se convierte en un asunto de vida o muerte. ¿Podran volver a reunirse con aquellos a quienes aman?
