	Random House Audiobooks Oh, Play That Thing <I>Oh, Play That Thing</I> is a fast-moving picaresque sequel to Roddy Doyle's novel about the Irish War of Independence and Civil War, <I>A Star Called Henry</I>. On the run from his former commanders, IRA assassin Henry ends up in the USA and copes indifferently with the gang-dominated New York of the early 1920s, and the worlds of Chicago jazz and the migrant workers of the Depression. Henry is a charming chancer, and a survivor, but this does not mean that he has an especially nice time for more than moments--his own ruthless past continually returns to haunt him. <p> Doyle does a nice line in memorable unpleasant images--a bunch of homing pigeons swollen and dying from bathtub gin; a wooden leg smouldering unnoticed from closeness to a campfire. There's also a strong sense of the changing language of immigrants trying to belong; this is, among other things, the story of how his Irish hero learns to think and speak in the American vein. The vignettes of real people--notably Henry's friend the young Louis Armstrong--are more than just decoration. In the Depression chapters, Doyle writes powerfully about the way folklore grows up. In places, this is a jerkily structured book, but it is always a highly intelligent one. --<I>Roz Kaveney</I>     Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours Shipping: refer to store website	£13.99 at Amazon.co.uk  4.5/5 Info All items of this shop
