The Shorter Irish Male

By Joseph O'Connor

Part of the Open Door series of short books for emerging readers. From his recollections of a suburban Irish childhood to his widely acclaimed radio diaries for RT 's Drivetime, award-winning novelist Joseph O'Connor tells tales that both parody and illuminate the strange times in which we live. In this shorter selection of classic journalism and non-fiction, Joseph O'Connor displays an eye for the absurd, a lightness of touch and a joyous comic spirit. From losing his heart at a flirting class in Manhattan, to becoming a father, The Shorter Irish Male is a suitcase stuffed with self-mockeries and belly laughs.
