A candid mix of humorous self-mockery and intimate observations illuminates ordinary moments in this sharp, affectionate portrait of Ireland and modern life.
Part of the Open Door series of short books for emerging readers. From his recollections of a suburban Irish childhood to his widely acclaimed radio diaries for RTÉ's Drivetime, award-winning novelist Joseph O'Connor tells tales that both parody and illuminate the strange times in which we live. In this shorter selection of classic journalism and non-fiction, Joseph O'Connor displays an eye for the absurd, a lightness of touch and a joyous comic spirit. From losing his heart at a flirting class in Manhattan, to becoming a father, The Shorter Irish Male is a suitcase stuffed with self-mockeries and belly laughs.
