Met Roddy Doyle yesterday! A friend said it, and I agree, he's a James Joyce for our generation. If I'm honest, I prefer his generous, warm, smiling, crying, simple, serious work. A nice man, a great privilege. Signed copies of his latest from www.kennys.ie #roddydoyle

#quandobrendanincontratrudy di #kieronjwalsh Qui ci sarebbe da parlare del genio dei distributori italiani per anni. Perché questa dolce e romantica storia d’amore, farcita di deliziose citazioni cinematografiche, è incappata in qualche genio incompreso della distribuzione nostrana che ne ha tradotto il titolo senza vederlo o – più probabilmente… – senza capirlo. Perché il titolo originale è #whenbrendanmettrudy ...

La foto immortale la copertina del DVD del film "Quando Brendan incontra Trudy" con un fotogramma del film in cui i due protagonisti sono abbracciati. In altro la scritta: "Amori, cinema e guai!". In basso il titolo del film seguito dai vari crediti artistici.

I am very happy to share that, thanks to Literature Ireland, I will be translating into #Bulgarian the novel "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" by Irish author Roddy Doyle.

The novel won the Booker Prize in 1993. I don't remember exactly why the book grabbed my attention, but after I finished reading it, I just had to convince my publisher to get the translation rights 😀

Here's a little something by Roddy Doyle himself about how he came to write Paddy:

Cover of Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, featuring various, childish like, drawings depicting things from the book. There's a gorilla with a gun, a Native American holding a bow and arrow, and so on.

I've just read this #RoddyDoyle book. Great writing set in Covid lock down. I found the fractured storyline confusing and intriguing. Name changes seeming new characters, memories that don't match up. Is this about mental breakdown/hallucinations?
No it's 10 shortstories 😂 and I didn't realise till I'd finished.

Jimmy Rabbitte: "The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once and say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud."
(The Commitments, Alan Parker, 1991, naar het boek van Roddy Doyle)
