The Thing About December

Set during a tumultuous year of change, The Thing About December follows Johnsey Cunliffe as he navigates a rapidly shifting world filled with village bullies and land disputes, all while grappling with grief, self-doubt, and the struggle to hold onto familiarity. Through his eyes, the story explores themes of loss, humor, and the challenge of understanding a world that seems to move faster than he can keep up with. Recognized as one of Donal Ryan's most poignant works, it offers a heartfelt glimpse into a man's quiet fight for stability amidst chaos.
