Dublin, 1968. Patrick "Paddy" Clarke is ten years old. During the day, he gets bored at school or passes time with his friends, moves through the streets, drives mischief. In the evening, he sits in front of the TV and nibbles chips. He prefers to read with a torch under the duvet - so it is simply more fun. His little brother Francis, called Sinbad, he incessantly annoys, often together with Kevin, his best friend, with whom he plays football and crime. But Paddy's world is anything but healing: his father drinks too much and argues with his mother more and more often, even becomes palpable. Paddy tries more and more to keep the peace at home, avert escalation, but he does not succeed. No one writes as well about Dublin as Roddy Doyle! Without psychologizations and sober, in typical doyle fashion, is told authentically and captivating from a year in the life of a boy driven out of childhood paradise. Mischief, rudging and boredom: a sensitive, stylish portrait of a ten-year-old and his world. Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha is a rediscovery of a great novel in fabulous re-translation and even more relevant than ever today. Awarded the Booker Prize! The audiobook of the same name appears at GOYALiT and is spoken by Stephan Schad.
