So original is the style of Kevin Barry that it's hard to recommend similar titles, but fans would undoubtedly enjoy [[A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess]]. You might also enjoy another of my guilty pleasures [[Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen: A Manifesto in 41 Tales by Marilyn Chin]] which I have a feeling Jenni Ching would enjoy.
