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.
