In 2012, Roddy Doyle showed us the world anew: through the back-and-forth of two Dublin pub-dwellers who chased the ebb and flow and stupidity of the year right to the bottom of their pints. Today, they're still at it - even over Zoom, if needs be. Here is almost a decade's worth of elections and referendums, football, financial crashes, pandemics and the philosophical questions of life, as told through the wit and warmth of Roddy Doyle's comic genius. Collected in one volume for the first time.
