Sobre este artículo
(London, BCA by arrangement with Secker & Warburg, 1994). 8vo; original maroon boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper a little soiled; pp. (vi) + 282. Very good condition. "It is 1968. Patrick Clarke is ten. He loves George Best, Geronimo and the smell of his hot water bottle. He hates zoos, kissing and the boys from the Corporation houses. He can't stand his little brother. He wants to be a missionary like Father Damien. He coerces the McCarthy twins and Willy Hancock into playing lepers. He never picks the scabs off his knees before they're ready. . . . Witty and poignant, earthy and exuberant, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha charts the triumphs, indignities and bewilderment of Patrick Clarke and his world, a place full of warmth, cruelty, love and slaps across the face." .
Sinopsis
Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha (1993) is a novel by Irish writer Roddy Doyle. It won the Booker Prize in 1993. The story is about a 10 year old boy and events that happen within his age group. He also has to cope with his parents' deteriorating relationship. The novel is known for its interesting use of language – Doyle uses a register that gives the reader the vivid impression of listening to the memories of a ten-year-old Irish boy from the 1960s.
