Description
Acclaimed as one of the funniest and most assured Irish novels of recent years: An Evening of Long Goodbyes is the story of Dubliner Charles Hythloday and the heroic squandering of the family inheritance. Featuring drinking: greyhound racing: vanishing furniture: more drinking: old movies: assorted Dublin lowlife: eviction and the perils of community theatre: Paul Murray's debut novel is a tour de force of comedic writing wrapped in an honest-to-goodness tale of a man– and a family – living in denial . . .
