Another unmissable comic outing from the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Bee Sting
Shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award
'Hilarious, rich and satisfying' Times Literary Supplement
'Arguably the funniest debut in years, An Evening of Long Goodbyes ranks with Zadie Smith's White Teeth as a stunning document of an English-speaking metropolis in flux' LA Times
This is the story of Charles Hythloday and the heroic squandering of a family inheritance. Featuring drinking, greyhound racing, vanishing furniture, more drinking, old movies, assorted Dublin lowlife, eviction and the perils of community theatre, Paul Murray's first novel is a tour de force of comedic writing wrapped in an honest-to-goodness tale of a man – and a family – living in denial.
'Comedy of the highest calibre and a good, fast-paced yarn. An excellent read' Sunday Tribune
