Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha (Paperback, Reissue)

Booker Prize Winner 1993. Roddy Doyle is unsurpassed in the art of capturing living, breathing dialogue; the sort which makes you forget you're the reader and enlivens all your sympathies to the protagonist. We've all sworn we wouldn't forget the things that were important to us as children, but we all have. This novel opens up some of those old feelings of struggle, compromise and injustice. In Paddy's case as a ten-year-old witnessing the breakdown of his parents' marriage, these emotions are particularly poignant and pathetic. The eventual discovery of the relevance of the title is heartbreaking. A brilliant, haunting book - and very funny too. (Kirkus UK)

Roddy Doyle's Booker Prize-winning novel describes the world of ten-year-old Paddy Clarke, growing up in Barrytown, north Dublin. From fun and adventure on the streets, boredom in the classroom to increasing isolation at home, "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" is the story of a boy who sees everything but understands less and less.
