Blackest Comedy,
This review is from: Poor Souls Pb (Paperback)
If you've never felt backed into a corner, lost, and with no hope, this book will show you how it feels. The comedy takes the edge off of the harsh reality of the truth as Joseph Connolly knows it. If it wasn't for dark humour, this book might be too depressing to read.

Devastatingly funny portrait of marriages gone wrong.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Poor Souls Pb (Paperback)
Connolly is a major comic talent of a certain vintage: British, Thatcher-bred and entirely without hope for the future. His characters are comic masterpieces of self-sabotague. Connolly, while well-respected and even downright trendy in Britain, awaits mass-market discovery in North America. Connolly takes place alongside Tibor Fischer, Martin Amis, Will Self and Irvine Welsh as the best of the comic glooms: unlike these other authors, Connolly plumbs the entirely realistic to produce surreal humour. A gem!
