Coming in at under a 100 pages, this amusing (and occasionally hilarious) book is a collection of conversations between two men in a Dublin pub, during 2011-2012. It’s somewhat unusual in that we never learn the men’s names, there are no other characters, and the whole book is just their dialogue.
It really works too. The men make reference to the news stories of the day (the London Olympics, the deaths of Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston and others, and the whereabouts of Colonel Gadaffi – who one of the men is convinced is working as a cleaner at Dublin Airport), and discuss snippets of their lives.
A funny and enjoyable book, which can be easily read in one sitting.
