A visceral tragicomedy – as raw and as funny as anything [Doyle’s] written. -- Olivia Cole * GQ * Remarkable, relevant and, surprisingly for a book that’s ostensibly about cancer, joyful. -- Kevin Maher * The Times * Life-affirming and trimphant * Irish Post * A fond, comic treat. * Sunday Times * This is Doyle back in Barrytown and on top form, especially at the festival which closes a glorious book. -- Harry Ritchie * Daily Mail *
