Panenka, by Rónán Hession (2021)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A man carrying the weight of failure for both himself and his whole (unspecified, vaguely European) city struggles to bring meaning to his remaining years.

Review: With two HUGE wins in three weeks, Hession is quickly becoming a favourite author for me. While less ‘charming‘ than his debut, this is still a beautiful and wise book, a needed balm for the soul in a harsh world. ⬇️
