    About Bullfighting

    A second collection of stories from the Booker Prize-winning author of Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha

    Watch for Roddy Doyle’s new novel, Smile, coming in October of 2017

     

    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.

    Praise

    “There is not a writer currently working in the English language who can match Doyle for the fluency with which he tacks back and forth between hilarious and the heartbreaking.”
    –The New York Times Book Review

    “Doyle never tells a reader what to think and so preserves a sense of wonder and interpretation that is pure oxygen to the story form.”
    –Los Angeles Times

    “These stories feel natural, autobiographical, like the kind of thing a man might tell you over a warm beer in a quiet bar.”
    –The Boston Globe
