Blindboy Boatclub Ordine dei libri

The new short-story collection from Irish bestselling author, musician and comedian Blindboy Boatclub

The second brilliant collection of bestselling short stories from podcast phenomenon Blindboy Boatclub, one half of comedy duo The Rubberbandits.

Blindboy Boatclub, one half of the Rubberbandits and a leading satirist in Ireland, presents a collection of captivating short stories and visual art. This critically acclaimed debut explores significant themes through imaginative narratives, featuring a van powered by Cork accents, Tipperary's first ISIS recruit, a sexually aggressive banshee, and a fridge heroically dragged through Limerick's streets. The work challenges the complacencies and contradictions of modern Ireland with whip-smart, provocative storytelling infused with dark humor. Critics have praised the collection for its originality and control, with Kevin Barry calling it "mad, wild, hysterical." Russell Brand notes the "warped genius" of the author, who famously wears a plastic bag on his head. Danny Boyle highlights the unique reading experience, describing it as essential, funny, and disturbing. Tara Flynn commends the sharpness and humor of the stories, showcasing a vibrant portrayal of Ireland filled with eccentric characters and emotional depth. The Irish Independent describes the collection as "demented, disheveled, and deeply surreal," while Joe.ie warns it's not for the faint-hearted. Ryan Tubridy assures readers they won't be disappointed, promising unexpected journeys through these pages.
