An exhilarating dark comedy about two brothers confronting their father''s fate in contemporary Ireland, from a critically acclaimed Irish author
''Brilliant. A hilarious, poetical black comedy... Do read it.'' Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
It''s 2008, and the Celtic Tiger has left devastation in its wake.
Brothers Hart and Cormac Black are waking up to a very different Ireland – one that widens the chasm between them and brings their beloved father to his knees. Facing a devastating choice that will put their livelihood, even their lives, on the line, the brothers soon learn that their biggest danger comes when there is nothing to lose.
A sharp snapshot of a family and a nation suddenly unmoored, this epic-in-miniature explores cowardice and sacrifice, faith rewarded and abandoned, the stories we tell ourselves and the ones we resist.
Hilarious, poignant and utterly fresh, The Wild Laughter cements Caoilinn Hughes'' position as one of Ireland''s most audacious, nuanced and insightful young writers.
''A grand feat of comic ingenuity, mischievous and insightful, and full of resonance for the way we live now...
So original and vibrant.'' Encore Award Judges
