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.
