About the Author:
Glenn Patterson is the author of eight previous novels, including Burning Your Own, Fat Lad, The International – ‘the best novel about the Troubles ever written’ (Anne Enright) – and The Third Party. He is the co-writer of Good Vibrations (BBC Films/The Works), an award-winning movie based on the life of Belfast punk impresario Terri Hooley.
Review:
humane, wise, funny, absolutely contemporary * Guardian * unmistakably authentic * Observer * A triumph. Maybe the finest novel written out of Ulster in twenty-five years. * Scotland on Sunday * No other novelist has proved as capable of capturing the heart of modern Belfast. * Sunday Tribune * told with grace, with warmth, and ineffable lightness by a writer in full love and knowledge of his city. -- Robert McLiam Wilson
