Description: |
Roddy Doyle has been writing stories for Metro Eireann, a newspaper aimed at immigrants to Ireland. Each story takes a fresh slant on the immigrant experience, from the very funny to the deeply moving. Best of all, Jimmy Rabbitte, the man who formed The Commitments, decides it's time to found a new band, and this time no White Irish need apply. |
Synopsis: |
For the past few years Roddy Doyle has been writing stories for Metro Eireann, a newspaper started by, and aimed at, immigrants to Ireland. Each of the stories took a new slant on the immigrant experience, something of increasing relevance and importance in today's Ireland.The stories range from 'Guess Who's Coming to the Dinner', where a father who prides himself on his open-mindedness when his daughters talk about sex, is forced to confront his feelings when one of them brings home a black fella, to a terrifying ghost story, 'The Pram', in which a Polish nanny grows impatient with her charge's older sisters and decides - in a phrase she has learnt - to 'scare them shitless'. |
