Bullfighting: Stories Paperback - 2012

by Roddy Doyle

The Man Booker Prize-winning author of "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" takes the pulse of modern Ireland with a masterful new collection of stories. Sharply observed, funny, and moving, these 13 stories present a new vision of contemporary Ireland.


Summary

"[No one] can match Doyle for the fluency with which he tacks back and forth between the hilarious and the heartbreaking." —The New York Times Book Review

Roddy Doyle has won acclaim for his wry wit, his uncanny ear, and his remarkable ability to fully capture the voices and hearts of his characters. Bullfighting, his second collection of stories, offers a series of bittersweet takes on men and middle age, revealing a panorama of Ireland today. Moving from classrooms to graveyards, from local pubs to bullrings, these tales of taking stock and reliving past glories feature men concerned with loss—of their place in the world, of their power, virility, health, and ability to love.
