Starting a new week with a new writer always feels like opening a different version of the world.
This time, it was Roddy Doyle. And I haven’t stopped thinking about Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha since finishing it.
I wrote a reflection on it here: https://freshoffmyshelf.substack.com/p/paddy-clarke-hahaha-is-this-what?r=7t861m&utm_medium=ios
For readers who enjoy books examined from quieter, deeper angles.
Yeah, as hard as the tough content would be to read, that kinda seemed like the point? It's a shame the book didn't follow through on its promise!
I’ve developed a hard-won policy of not raving to people about books I haven’t finished yet, because this happens a lot. I still violate my rule sometimes.
Wow, what a bait and switch! But thanks for putting Y/N on my radar. I added it t to my TBR.
I’m curious to know what you think!
