Two Pints
A General Fiction Short Story by Roddy Doyle
Subgenres:
- Humorous Fiction,
- Irish Fiction,
- Short Stories
This book is for you if you're into...
- Pub banter that riffs on real headlines and world events
- Irish humor with sharp takes on politics and pop culture
- Dialogue-driven stories that capture everyday absurdity
A collection of sublimely funny dialogues inspired by a year’s worth of news.
Two men meet for a pint in a Dublin pub. They chew the fat, set the world to rights, take the piss… They talk about their wives, their kids, their kids’ pets, their football teams and -- this being Ireland in 2011 and 2012 -- about the Euro, the crash, the presidential election, the Queen’s visit.
But these men are not parochial or small-minded; one of them knows where to find the missing Colonel Gadaffi (he’s working as a cleaner at Dublin Airport); they worry about Greek debt, the IMF and the bondholders (whatever they might be); in their fashion, they mourn the deaths of Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, Davy Jones and Robin Gibb; and they ask each other the really important questions like ‘Would you ever let yourself be digitally enhanced?’
