About the Author
Roger Boylan is an American writer who was raised in Ireland, France, and Switzerland and attended the University of Ulster and the University of Edinburgh.

The entire trilogy was reissued in German in 2007 by Kein & Aber, Zurich.
Reviews
"...hilarious Irish farce, a first novel that captures the absurdly comic spirits of Joyce and Beckett in its depiction of an Emerald Isle town peopled by some most peculiar folk, indeed." -- Library Journal
