Editor's Note:
Anyone who has ever done building work for brutal wage slavery and wondered if they were going mad, will recognise the life of Ray Dennis, (Troia's alter ego) which evokes a vision of mind-numbing, soul-destroying workplaces and workmates. His is the voice of discord for the marginally employed, the creatively frustrated working Joe, who turns to a life of drink and drugs to elevate the monotony of life. Few have brought this world to life with such despair, black humour and indifference as Gary Troia. He paints a beautifully sad portrait of a truly messed up person with potential, struggling to keep his messed up mind from drowning in cheap wine and self-loathing. Ray's spirit is trapped in a world of endless grey mundanity. A Bricklayer's Tales is the ultimate "I hate this job" story, written in short, concise sections, each one containing a snapshot of the life of Ray. Troia captures the tedium of working in a low paid, menial job and living hand to mouth. The book is sad and questions the reader to ask questions about their own life. This book achieves clarity without trying. Ray has three expensive hobbies: drinking, drugs, and running away. Without the income that Bricklaying provides, he would not be able to maintain his chosen lifestyle, so he compromises his principles and continues with his trade. A collection of short stories that include:Angel Dust, the peculiar story of a man whose new life in America leads to conversations with Ancient Greek philosophersMrs McClintock, an absurd farce in which a Glaswegian couple retire to SpainA Bricklayer's Tale, the story of a disillusioned, alcoholic bricklayerWhat I Did In My Summer Holidays In 1000 Words, could having an idea ever be considered a criminal act?My Grandfather's Shed, the making of an English keyPeyote, hippies, LSD and an idyllic refugeReturn Ticket, handcuffed and ready for deportation.
