About This Book

Published in 1994, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha established Roddy Doyle as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Ten-year-old Paddy Clarke narrates his working-class north Dublin childhood in 1968 with an irresistible voice—comic, observant, and increasingly frightened as his parents' marriage deteriorates. Doyle's Booker Prize winner is a masterclass in child narration and Dublin vernacular. Themes of childhood, Dublin, family run through the work. The book has received recognition from Booker Prize 1994.
