Charlie Savage Summary

Charlie Savage by Roddy Doyle

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE FOR COMIC WRITING 2019** Meet Charlie Savage: a middle-aged Dubliner with an indefatigable wife, an exasperated daughter, a drinking buddy who's realized that he's been a woman all along... Compiled here for the first time is a whole year's worth of Roddy Doyle's hilariousseries for the Irish Independent. Giving a unique voice to the everyday, he draws a portrait of a man - funny, loyal, somewhat bewildered - trying to keep pace with the modern world (if his knees don't give out first).

Charlie Savage Reviews

"A delight from start to finish." -- Max Davidson * Mail on Sunday *
"A refreshingly positive take on middle age, it's optimistic, warm-hearted, blokishly moving and written with a master's pin-sharp command of humour... a book that's sure to be picked up and revisited time and time again." * Herald Scotland *
"More than comedy or insight, this work has tenderness... It does more than tickle our bellies, it warms our hearts." -- Niamh Donnelly * Irish Times *
"Brilliantly funny. Heart-warmingly, vulnerably hilarious in fact. Doyle has crafted Charlie Savage with great care and has imbued him with such depth of character that I can't imagine a reader finishing the book without loving him, just a little... savour every page because Charlie Savage will enrich your life as long as he is in it." -- Ceire Duggan * RTE Guide *
"This portrait of an ordinary man (and one clearly past his best) is by turns hilarious and heartfelt." -- Rachel Lloyd * Economist, 1843 *
"Savage is likeable and bumbling and Doyle's voice is spot on for [this] persona." -- Jane Bradley * Scotsman *
