Following Tony Macaulay's successful career as a breadboy, he's going where few people from the upper Shankill have boldly gone before: to university.
Tony Macaulay put uit zijn jeugdervaringen te midden van 'The Troubles' in Noord-Ierland om thema's als vrede en verzoening te verkennen door middel van literatuur. Zijn schrijfstijl wordt gekenmerkt door een mengeling van nostalgie, humor en aangrijpende observaties over de turbulente sociale geschiedenis van de regio. Met zijn memoires en satirische werken beoogt hij barrières te slechten en dialoog te bevorderen. Zijn verhalen worden gewaardeerd om hun authenticiteit en hun vermogen om gesprekken over complexe maatschappelijke kwesties op gang te brengen.
