Roddy Doyle

Roddy Doyle is one of Ireland’s best loved writers and he returns to the memorable character of Jimmy Rabbitte for his new novel The Guts. Jimmy was of course the band manager in The Commitments and we now encounter him aged 47, married with four kids but suffering from bowel cancer. Told with his trademark verve it’s a warm hearted and often hilarious examination of being male and middle aged!
