Ripley Bogle

"An astonishing performance, fluent, profound, angry. It made me laugh; it made me think; it made me envious" Irish Times "Probably one of the best Irish novels to have appared in the last decade. It goes straight for the jugular" The Times "The eponymous antihero of this splendid anti-coming-of-age novel is a classic Irish rogue: handsome, charming, astute, articulate, arrogant, irresponsible, passionate - above all, a chap who can make you laugh three times per page... Underneath all the wordplay, [Wilson] reveals with true eloquence the horrors of growing up during the Troubles" Publishers Weekly
