Killoyle: An Irish Farce Paperback - 1997
by Roger Boylan; Boylan Roger; Boylan
Proving that the Irish literary spirit of James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, and Samuel Beckett still exist in at least one Irish writer, Roger Boylan has composed a debut novel filled with hilarity and doom about the inhabitants of the Irish town of Killoyle--a host of peculiar folks, all suffering from and tortured by problems with God, sex, the drink and, of course, Ireland.
From the rear cover
Proving that the spirits of James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, and Samuel Beckett still flow in the veins of at least one Irish writer, Roger Boylan has composed a novel filled with hilarity and doom about the inhabitants of the Irish town of Killoyle: Milo Rogers, a headwaiter and would-be poet with a bit of a drinking problem and a bit of a sexual one; Kathy Hickman, a writer for the woman's fashion magazine Glam, as well as a former pin-up girl; Wolfetone Grey, who reads books only by or about God, and who also makes anonymous phone calls through-out the town in order to make people believe, among other things, that they have just won the lottery; and a host of other peculiar folks, all suffering from and tortured by problems with God, sex, the drink, and of course Ireland. Accompanying all of this is a nameless figure who bursts on the scene in the form of acerbic, opinionated, hilarious footnotes that rudely comment upon the characters and numerous other subjects.
