Odd Life Poraic Cahill 9781326622077 Books
Irish author Poraic Cahill, born in Dublin, Ireland, has worked ‘as a Gardener, Butcher’s Assistant, Barman, Administrator, Researcher, Secondary School Teacher, and now slog at writing for a living (when I’m not in the local enjoying a cuppa with the Newspaper).’ And from that bit of bio we are introduced to a man with a sense of humor and a keen eye for observing the world as it really is – rather than as people would prefer it to be viewed. Poraic adds that the stories in this book represent ‘a collection of odd & absurd situations I’ve encountered over the years, mainly in my capacity as a daily English Times reader. ODD LIFE contains ninety short-stories which are grouped into six chapters - Sexed-Up, Sporting Chancers, Laying Down the Law, Playing Politics, Down to Business, and Live & Learn.Perhaps the best way to introduce readers to the type of writing and stories included is to actually share one. SEXED-UP –Misunderstanding November 26th, 2012 ‘I’ve seen some innocuous objects being turned into deadly weapons in my time. James Bond films created good examples of this. The bowler hat used by the character Oddjob in Goldfinger to decapitate statues and people; a flaming shish-kebab used by another evil character Mr Kidd in Diamonds are Forever to light up 007. Even a pared-down toothbrush I once saw on a TV programme about prisons was used to stab a victim. The latest claim to be added to the list is a pair of 38DD breasts. I recently read of a Mr Tim Schmidt, a German lawyer, who claims that his ex-girlfriend Franziska tried to smother him to death with her 38DD breasts while having sex. She has denied the claim saying that the breast-smothering was a sex game. They seem to have had their wires crossed, with him thinking he was being smothered with breasts and her thinking she was smothering him with kindness. Franziska further claims that Tim was aware that the breast-smothering was a sex-game but to judge the reaction of Mr Schmidt (he fled naked to a neighbour to call the police after freeing himself from the 38DD sandwich) one would surmise that he wasn’t aware of her use for the DDs. What is exciting for one partner is terrifying for the other. This sandwich-smothering incident is a good example of the perils of a communication breakdown in a relationship. A couple of words between Tim & Franziska and the sandwich-smothering-situation could have been avoided. Franziska would then have found out that Tim wasn’t a breast-man and Tim would have found out about Franziska’s sandwich fetish. A few more words and a bit of negotiating and things could have been tried out. This could have led to DDs being used in a constructive manner by Franziska to the enjoyment of Tim rather than the destructive manner which led Tim to view them as a deadly weapon.’
It is obvious from this one story that Poraic writes well, condenses strange tales with aplomb, and creates a hunger for reading on. The entire book is a treasure chest (oops!) and one very much worth exploring. Grady Harp, June 16
