Vintage Yeats Is Dead!
<I>Yeats is Dead!</I> doesn't seem like a book so much as a protracted pub crawl in the company of 15 hyper-articulate pottymouths. Roddy Doyle, Frank McCourt, Anthony Cronin and a dozen of their lesser-known compatiots have written a literary mystery that isn't terribly literary and doesn't really hang together as a mystery. It is, however, a showcase for riffing by some very clever writers. The novel commences with a chapter from Doyle, wherein a couple of cops on the take raid the trailer of a down-and-outer. They've been instructed to do this by the all-knowing underworld crime boss Mrs Bloom (much given to crying O yes in proper Joycean fashion). Unfortunately, the two policemen accidentally kill the resident hobo and in doing so set off a whirlwind of brutality, inner-city intrigue and unlikely romance. <p> Each chapter is written by a different writer and each writer seems eager to outdo the last by killing off as many characters as possible. This can be good, bloody fun. It can also lead to some creaky exposition along the lines of this passage from Cronin's chapter: The guard that got shot. What did he think he was up to? And what was his connection, if any, with the Tommy Reynolds murder? More successful are the writers who altogether give up the ghost of creating a cohesive mystery and instead wallow around in literary references and ridiculously purple prose. Here novelist Joseph O'Connor tries his hand at an action scene: Gravity and Mrs Roberts had entered into conflict and, as devotees of the late Sir Isaac will confirm, out of such a negotiation may emerge one victor. Not exactly Tom Clancy and a good thing too.<p> The Irish keep turning out these collaborative efforts, the most recent being <I>Finbar's Hotel</I> and <I>Ladies Night at Finbar's Hotel</I>. (By the way, £1 from the sale of this particular round-robin will go to Amnesty International.) In any case, the format can be tough on the writer who must bundle it all up in the final chapter. Here the task falls to honorary Irishman Frank McCourt and let it be said he does his salty, saucy best. <I>--Claire Dederer, Amazon.com</I>

Vintage A Star Called Henry (The Last Roundup)
The habit of murder becomes a hard one to break; the hero of Roddy Doyle's novel of the Irish War of Independence, like his father before him, kills to order and kills in cold blood. Where his father was simply the one-legged bouncer at a brothel, whose employers used him for any killing that needs to be done, Henry has motives. Growing up on the street, taught his letters by James Connolly, he believes in not just Irish freedom, but workers' revolution. He learns the hard way that his pious middle-class masters do not have this in mind. <p> <I>A Star Called Henry</I>--passionate, angry, darkly and wildly comic--has something in it to offend everybody. His stirring, deeply anti-romantic, account of the siege of the Dublin Post Office during the Easter Rising is remarkable, but hardly less so is his account of life on the Dublin docks, or Henry's treks around the countryside as one of Michael Collins' hard men, teaching guerrilla warfare to dairy farmers and clerks. The love affair between Henry and his equally blood-thirsty teacher and wife Miss O'Shea is sweet and touching. The first volume of a trilogy, this is a radical departure for Doyle, and a stunning success. --<I>Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.uk</I>

Jonathan Cape 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>

Scholastic The Giggler Treatment
Roddy Doyle is used to tough critics, with many an adult novel to his name including the Booker Prize Winning <I>Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha</I>. But here he takes the plunge with the toughest critics of all--children--in his first book for the young, <I>The Giggler Treatment</I>.<p> Doyle's wry sense of the ridiculous is evident in this brave attempt (indeed, anyone who turns their hand from writing for adults to writing for children is exceptionally brave), dealing as it does with the daft, but rather appealing idea, that small creatures called Gigglers work in league with the dogs of the world to avenge the children of the ills of adults. So, every time a cross word is said to a child by a grown-up, or every time anything that is deemed unfair happens (eg: if an adult farts and blames a child, or an adult puts fish on a plate but says it is chicken) the nearest Giggler has a quiet word in the shell-like ear of the local hound who promptly produces a steaming pile of poo for aforementioned adults to stand in.<p> Great idea, and for an author tackling the children's market for the first time it is certainly impressive--adult fans of <I>Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha</I> will already know of this author's talent for getting into the mind of a 10-year-old boy.<p> Writing for children is not easy, but Doyle's strange little creatures who are always on the side of the kids, the liberal piles of poo and the fantastical storyline that develops in the most extraordinary manner and takes place over a matter of minutes, will certainly appeal. <p> There are rambling moments that do little to keep the reader's interest, and at times Doyle's style can be irritating. But on the whole he has tapped into a fantastic idea that will certainly appeal to children of all ages (not to mention their parents). With the short chapters, witty illustration and the languid, irreverence of a fine author to boot, <I>The Giggler Treatment</I> is set to make its mark. (Ages 8 and over) --Susan Harrison

Random House Audiobooks Rory and Ita
Surprisingly, <I>Rory and Ita</I> is Roddy Doyle's first non-fiction book and recounts (largely in their own words) the tale of his parents' lives from their first memories to the present. Doyle is (as his publishers proudly claim) Ireland's most famous living writer, and his storytelling acumen (matched with an impeccable knack for conveying with maximum vividness the day-to-day detail of his colourfully-drawn locales) has made his books essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary writing. He is, of course, very funny--and who says writing of real distinction should not have us laughing uproariously? Books such as <I>The Snapper</I> and <I>The Commitments</I> proved this beyond doubt.<p> <I>Rory and Ita</I> is something new in his work--rarely have a writer's parents been brought to life in such vivid, tender detail--and rarely have two outwardly ordinary people had such fascinatingly offbeat, surprising lives.<p> Born in 1923 and 1925 respectively, the couple have a total recall of every detail of their Dublin childhoods, their eccentric relatives and, crucially, the politics (both came from Republican families). Inevitably, some of Doyle's keenest followers may be wary of this departure from his customarily idiosyncratic novels (even the much-acclaimed <I>A Star called Henry</I> wrongfooted many readers with its marked departure from the areas we customarily associated with Doyle), but <I>Rory and Ita</I> is actually quite as entertaining as any of Doyle's fiction. His parents come across as remarkable talkers (his mother, in particular, has some very surprising tales to tell), and the book (with its rich and colourful portrait of a country caught between the backwardness of religious repression and the indomitable human spirit of its people) creates a picture of a very human and often very funny world that has now all but vanished. Doyle enthusiasts may hesitate--but they'd be wise to add this one to their libraries, as it has all the insight and humour of the author's best work. --<I>Barry Forshaw</I>
