by Caramine White
Reading More of Roddy Doyle provides an in-depth analysis of Roddy Doyle’s work
since 1999. Doyle is unique in that he is constantly experimenting with
different genres, including: screenplays, biographies, children’s
stories, novels, short stories and television. Interestingly, he not
only deals with contemporary issues (such as alcoholism and spousal
abuse) but has also attempted to contemporize Irish and American
history.
Caramine White, PhD, offers an overview of Doyle’s oeuvre followed by
critical analyses of each of Doyle’s more recent works. All of the major
works of fiction are discussed (A Star Called Henry; Oh, Play that
Thing; Paula Spencer and The Dead Republic) together with the two short
story collections (The Deportees and Bullfighting). White also explores
how the memoir Rory and Ita sheds light on Doyle’s other works as well
as on the author himself. An analysis of his short stories, screenplays,
children’s books, and stage plays is also included. A lengthy and
candid interview with Doyle concludes the book. |
