Belfast Confetti

• "Suddenly as the riot squad moved in, it was raining exclamation marks,"
• "Nuts, bolts, nails, car-keys. A fount of broken type. And the explosion."
• "Itself - an asterisk on the map. This hyphenated line, a burst of rapid fire..."
• "All the alleyways and side streets blocked with stops and colons. I know this labyrinth so well"
• "What is My name? Where am I coming from? Where am I going? A fusillade of question-marks."
