Nigel Bird's "Dirty Old Town" is a collection of 9 dark slices of (low) life from the award winning short story writer. The stories are nicely varied in tone and structure. My favorites are the deeply sad tale of a school janitor's last day "Taking a Line for a Walk" and the humorous tale of father/son thieves "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight)".
