Injury Time by Kevin Smith

Description Businessman Fenton Conville has it all sewn up, coasting through life with his mates and his money in a sleepy Northern Irish village. Until, that is, he wakes on his fiftieth birthday to an unexpected solicitors letter and a shocking allegation that could blow his world apart. In this sharp-eyed comedy of memories, middle age and long-buried mistakes, a privileged entrepreneur feels the chill winds of post-Brexit change in a society struggling to account for its past. Ultimately, Injury Time is a poignant, acerbic look at a man out of sync with the world around him. Kevin Smiths prose is by turns hilarious and incisive, blending satire with a genuine exploration of aging, masculinity, and the slow erosion of certainty. This is a story about dodging bullets, literal and metaphorical, and the painful comedy of lifes second half. In the end, Fentons true struggle is less about money or status than finding relevance and peace as the clock runs down.
