Charlie Savage

Charlie Savage

by RoddyDoyle (Author)

Synopsis

Meet Charlie Savage: a middle-aged Dubliner with an indefatigable wife, an exasperated daughter, a drinking buddy who's realized that he's been a woman all along... Compiled here for the first time is a whole year's worth of Roddy Doyle's hilariousseries for the Irish Independent. Giving a unique voice to the everyday, he draws a portrait of a man - funny, loyal, somewhat bewildered - trying to keep pace with the modern world (if his knees don't give out first).

Media Reviews
PRAISE FOR RODDY DOYLE
A hugely successful writer who refuses to be predictable and uses the novel to challenge both the reader's sense of ease and the nature of the form itself. The Guardian

Praise for SMILE
A book that made me feel I really was in the presence of a master.
Sebastian Barry

Reading Smile, one is swept along--as in all Doyle's novels--by the vibrancy of the language, the vivid sense of character and place.... Smile is beautifully written, and beautifully observed.
Daily Telegraph
