Paula gradually imparts truths about her medical record, which is riddled with self-inflicted wounds, such as those of substance abuse, and the long list of injuries she sustained from Carlo. His characters felt authentic and their flaws exuded life and vitality often missing from other contemporary literature, I have read.L'innamoramento, il matrimonio la luna di miele e poi l'incubo fatto di prevaricazioni, maltrattamenti, botte, denti rotti, capelli strappati, ematomi, bruciature, dita spezzate tutte per lo stesso identico motivo: Paula sbatteva contro le porte! Doyle frequently posts short comic dialogues on his Facebook page which are implied to be between two older men in a pub, often relating to current events in Ireland (such as the 2015 marriage referendum [16]) and further afield. Doyle's writing is marked by heavy use of dialogue between characters, with little description or exposition.

Una scrittura fluida , semplice, efficace qualsiasi schiaffo mi ha colpito , ogni pugno l’ho preso in pieno . He is a man consummately at ease, but with a air of steeliness that has been heightened by his swapping schoolmasterly tufted hair and Graham Taylor specs for a near-shaven head and designer frames. We meet the young, pretty girl who “swooned the first time” she saw Charlo, the man she married and we get the measure of the enormous sexual attraction between them. It is only after the first wife-beating incident (over an hour into the play) that the production hits its stride: the stage is cleared of fussy sets and for the first time Hilda Fay's Paula controls the action.

I would sit inside this little box that he’d made for me, and I would wonder how the hell I got here. And maybe start to picture how your life could be the other side of it, with someone who is actually nice to you for a change.

Paula is, of course, a fiction, a product of Roddy Doyle's imagination, but such a rich and rounded product that I find it easy to think of her as a patient. The film version of The Van, for which he wrote the screenplay, is slated to be released later this year, but he says he prefers writing fiction to other mediums.They have what appears to be a very casual conversation, and in fact, Paula doesn’t find out how her husband died until much later. It is far more likely that they would have been encouraged to cope with an unsatisfactory situation by the prescription of a tranquilliser. The writing at first felt too shaky and not believable, but as I said, the second half MADE the book. In 1993, Doyle published Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, winner of the 1993 Booker Prize, which showed the world as described, understood and misunderstood by a ten-year-old Dubliner living in 1968.
