À propos de cet audio

Jimmy Rabbitte is back.

The man who invented the Commitments back in the eighties is now forty-seven, with a loving wife, four kids ... and bowel cancer. He isn’t dying, he thinks, but he might be.

Jimmy still loves his music, and he still loves to hustle – his new thing is finding old bands and then finding the people who loved them enough to pay money for their resurrected singles and albums. On his path through Dublin he meets two of the Commitments – Outspan, whose own illness is probably terminal, and Imelda Quirk, still as gorgeous as ever. He is reunited with his long-lost brother and learns to play the trumpet…

This warm, funny novel is about friendship and family, about facing death and opting for life. It climaxes in one of the great passages in Roddy Doyle’s fiction: four middle-aged men at Ireland’s hottest rock festival watching Jimmy’s son Marvin’s band Moanin’ at Midnight pretending to be Bulgarian and playing a song called ‘I’m Going to Hell’ that apparently hasn’t been heard since 1932…

Why? You’ll have to read The Guts to find out.

Ce que les critiques en disent

A visceral tragicomedy – as raw and as funny as anything [Doyle’s] written. (Olivia Cole)
Remarkable, relevant and, surprisingly for a book that’s ostensibly about cancer, joyful. (Kevin Maher)
Life-affirming and trimphant
A fond, comic treat.
This is Doyle back in Barrytown and on top form, especially at the festival which closes a glorious book. (Harry Ritchie)
The Guts has life, and heart, and jokes. (Theo Tait)
The novel is probably the most contemplative that Doyle has written — as a meditation on the importance of family, it is at times almost unbearably moving. (Edmund Gordon)
Bright, jokey, wry and robust. (Patricia Craig)
Unchanged is Doyle’s miraculous ability to serve up dialogue that fizzes with great, often quite rude jokes – but never at the expense of the emotions lying behind them.
As one does with old friends, you leap right back into the conversation as if you’ve never been apart... It’s got a bittersweet humour all its own. (Deborah Dundas)

One of those rare books that talks about midlife, married life and parenting, and from a male perspective. Laurence Kinlan's narration is so wonderful that I sought other books he has appeared on.
