Killoyle: An Irish Farce - American Literature (Dalkey Archive)

Proving that the Irish literary spirit of James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, and Samuel Beckett still exist in at least one Irish writer, Roger Boylan has composed a debut novel filled with hilarity and doom about the inhabitants of the Irish town of Killoyle--a host of peculiar folks, all suffering from and tortured by problems with God, sex, the drink and, of course, Ireland.
