The problems of everyday living accumulate and begin to torture Joy  who blames her problems not on her work or on the accidental drowning of her illicit lover  but on herself. While painful and deeply serious  this is a novel of great warmth and energy: its the wit and irony found in moments of despair that prove to be Joys salvation. First published by Polygon in 1989 and Dalkey Archive Press in 1994  now available again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987660206133,"sku":"ByrdShop_1564780465","price":29.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781564780461.jpg?v=1770951477","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/trick-is-to-keep-breathing-scottish-literature","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
