Roddy Doyle
Two men meet for a pint in a Dublin pub. They chew the fat, set the world to rights, take the pissâ€¦ They talk about their wives, their kids, their kidsâ€™ pets, their football teams and â€“ this being Ireland in 2011â€“12 â€“about the euro, the crash, the presidential election, the Queenâ€™s visit. But these men are not parochial or small-minded; one of them knows where to find the missing Colonel Gaddafi (heâ€™s working as a cleaner at Dublin Airport); they worry about Greek debt, the IMF and the bondholders ( whatever they might be); in their fashion, they mourn the deaths of Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, Davy Jones and Robin Gibb; and they ask each other the really important questions like â€˜Would you ever let yourself be digitally enhanced?â€™,Inspired by a yearâ€™s worth of news, ,Two Pints, distils the essence of Roddy Doyleâ€™s comic genius. This book shares the concision of a collection of poems, and the timing of a virtuoso comedian.
