Reviews
There may be a more likable serious writer than Roddy Doyle, but you’d have to prove it to me.” —Los Angeles Times, " The Deportees  confirms Doyle's standing as a rare genius of socially conscious literary comedy. . . . His mastery of the ordinary Dubliners' speech informs all these stories and lends them an urgent credibility." --Los Angeles Times "Doyle's short stories rest on the comical limitations--and emotional largess--of his Irish characters. . . . At the same time, they question what it means to be Irish when the face of Ireland has changed. In exploring the theme, Doyle makes sport of everyone." --San Francisco Chronicle "One of the delights of Doyle's work is its fearlessness. . . . In book after book he throws himself into the voices and hearts of his characters. . . . All of these stories are about blended worlds and the problems inherent in that blending, no matter what wealth or luxury a place affords."  --The New York Times Book Review , "There may be a more likable serious writer than Roddy Doyle, but you'd have to prove it to me." -Los Angeles Times, "There may be a more likable serious writer than Roddy Doyle, but you''d have to prove it to me." - Los Angeles Times, "There may be a more likable serious writer than Roddy Doyle, but you'd have to prove it to me." - Los Angeles Times, " The Deportees confirms Doyle's standing as a rare genius of socially conscious literary comedy. . . .
