(3) 4-6 Photographs by Alan O'Connor. This slice-of-life photo essay follows eleven-year-old Liam as he attends school, spends time with his family, and intensely prepares for a boxing match. That Liam is a Catholic boy living in a city long divided by "the Troubles" is evident throughout the present-tense text and in the sharp color photos, but the book's emphasis is on how normal childhood activities abide, even when restricted and somewhat shaped by social conflict.
