The Replay — Michael Curtin
'Curtin is one of Ireland's best writers.'
RODDY DOYLE
Vintage slapstick humour... so hysterically funny that I was rolling around convulsed... the irony and the satire are sharp and sure, the comedy unblemished.'
BOOKS AND BOOKMEN
The writer has a brilliant imagination, an almost lunatic sense of humour, and matches an unerring ear for the nuances of speech with faultless observation.'
THE TIMES
A twenty-stone taxi-driver, an unemployed docker, a wilting TV sex-symbol and a once mild-mannered schoolteacher slavering for revenge... in a one-horse, two-bar Irish town these are the unlikely guardians of the honour of one of the worst pubs in the land. Fifteen years ago they and their friends constituted a football team. Gathered together again after a decade and a half of boozing, smoking and idling about they look more like the casualty ward on a binge, but nothing can stop THE REPLAY.
