Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Funny, gripping, and sometimes heartbreaking essays from a big new comic talentPatrick Freyne has tried a lot of stupid ideas in his life. Now, in his scintillating debut, he is here to tell you about them- like the time (aged 5) he opened a gate and let a horse out of its field, just to see what would happen; or the time (aged 19) he jumped out of a plane for charity, even though he didn't much care about the charity and was sure he'd end up dead; or the time (aged old enough to know better) he used a magazine as a funnel for fuel when the petrol cap on his band's van broke.He has also learned a few things- about the power of group song; about the beauty of physically caring for another human being; about childlessness; about losing friends far too young. Life as seen through the eyes of Patrick Freyne is stranger, funnier and a lot more interesting than life as we generally know it. Like David Sedaris or Nora Ephron, he creates an environment all his own - fundamentally comic, sometimes moving, always deeply humane. OK, Let's Do Your Stupid Idea is a joyous reading experience from an instantly essential new writer. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condición: New. 'Offbeat, ironic, humane and hilarious, Experts in a Dying Field is an earworm you'll be humming along to for a long time to come.' PAUL MURRAY'A wonderfully evocative novel from a major storytelling talent.' JOSEPH O'CONNOR'Just pure joy and pure heartbreak and GENUINE LAUGHS all the way through. I cried a few times too.'

As profound as it is hilarious, Freyne's voice is unmistakable: clever, tender, and original. Read it once, then read it again. Then go to the pub.'

I loved this book' LOUISE KENNEDY'Brilliantly captures the chaos and camaraderie of band culture' SINÉAD GLEESON'A lovely, tender and funny book, full of empathy and scruffy wisdom' MARK O'CONNELL'In essence this novel is a love song to music and all of its transformative magical powers, sung in Freyne's inimitable style.

Patrick Freyne writes about his characters with humour, care and loving attention.' RÓNÁN HESSION'Witty, boisterous and warm. Confirms Freyne as a writer who cares deeply about people.' LISA MCINERNEY'A sharply funny and tender book. You can hear the music coming off every page. Wonderful.' JULIA RAESIDE'Sizzles with hope, laughs and the tensions that come from knowing someone in their brighter, younger days and wishing, perhaps, that you've left them there. Nostalgic, darkly funny, and real - perfect for anyone trying to make sense of what it means to have history.' JUSTIN MYERS---Praise for Patrick Freyne'Patrick Freyne is a comic genius' MARIAN KEYES'A writer of rare humour, depth, and humanity' MARK O'CONNELL'No one makes me laugh like Patrick Freyn.
