The Commitments : The Snapper : The Van

Edición de la obra The Barrytown Trilogy

Roddy Doyle's winning trio of comic novels depicting the daily life and times of the Rabbitte family in working-class Dublin. [The Commitments](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL762611W/Commitments) Still one of the freshest and funniest rock 'n' roll novels ever written, Doyle's first book portrays a group of aspiring musicians on a mission: to bring soul to Dublin. [The Snapper](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL762613W/Snapper) Doyle's sparkling second novel observes the progression of twenty-year-old Sharon's pregnancy and its impact on the Rabbitte family - especially on her father, Jimmy Sr - with with, candor, and surprising authenticity. [The Van](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL762614W/Van) Set during the heady days of Ireland's brief, euphoric triumphs in the 1990 World Cup, this Booker Prize nominee is a tender and hilarious tale of male friendship, midlife crisis, and family life. --back cover
