The brilliant first novel by the author of Skippy Dies Acclaimed as
one of the funniest and most assured debuts of recent years, An
Evening of Long Goodbyes is the story of Dubliner Charles Hythloday
and the heroic squandering of the family inheritance. Featuring
drinking, greyhound racing, vanishing furniture, more drinking, old
movies, assorted Dublin lowlife, eviction and the perils of
community theatre, Paul Murray's first novel is a tour de force of
comedic writing wrapped in an honest-to-goodness tale of a man -
and a family - living in denial. 'Hilarious, rich and satisfying'
The Times Literary Supplement 'Comedy of the highest calibre and a
good, fast-paced yarn. An excellent read' Sunday Tribune 'Arguably
the funniest debut in years, An Evening of Long Goodbyes ranks with
Zadie Smith's White Teeth as a stunning document of an
English-speaking metropolis in flux. . . every joke, every
observation, every name reverberates with playful nuance and nervy
significance; the end result is a gleeful tweak of the New
Ireland's proud nose' LA Times Since the publication of An Evening
of Long Goodbyes, Paul Murray has received much critical acclaim;
his second novel, Skippy Dies, was Longlisted for the Man Booker
Prize in 2010.
