Product Description
This is a selection of the best from Joe O'Connor's hilarious take on the world of the Irish male. Here is fear and loathing, pity and terror, country and western. From love, rock 'n' roll and football, to more trivial matters such as the search for international peace and the craving for philosophical enlightenment, these vivid snapshots build into a perceptive and absolutely hilarious portrait of contemporary Irish life, both at home and abroad. Featuring also a selection from O'Connor's popular "Drivetime" radio column, this book is the perfect way to brighten up a day. 'If you need to spend an afternoon with a silly grin, and sometimes tears of laughter, this is your only man' - "Irish Times". 'Smart, funny - could convince any romantic of the wonders of the Irish male' - "The Scotsman".
About the Author
Although best known for his literary fiction and an impressive collection of plays, for which he has won a number of awards, O'Connor's acerbic wit lends itself well to non-fiction. His Irish Male trilogy were bestsellers in Ireland, and continue to sell well at home and abroad. His columns on RTE's Drivetime also have a strong following.
