Description
An Evening of Long Goodbyes by Paul Murray is a hilarious and satisfying tale of a man living in denial. Charles Hythloday's life is marked by drinking, greyhound racing, and the perils of community theatre, as he squanders his family inheritance.
Featuring a cast of colourful characters, including assorted Dublin lowlife, eviction, and more drinking, this debut novel is a tour de force of comedic writing. With its rich and playful observations, it's a gleeful tweak of the nose of the New Ireland.
A critically acclaimed debut that ranks with Zadie Smith's White Teeth as a stunning document of an English-speaking metropolis in flux, An Evening of Long Goodbyes is a worthwhile read for fans of comedy and satire. Paul Murray's writing is at its best here, making this book an excellent read.
