Sinossi
A Guardian / Irish Times Book of the Year
Smile has all the features for which Roddy Doyle has become famous: the razor-sharp dialogue, the humour, the superb evocation of childhood – but this is a novel unlike any he has written before. When you finish the last page you will have been challenged to re-evaluate everything you think you remember so clearly.
Just moved in to a new apartment, alone for the first time in years, Victor Forde goes every evening to Donnelly’s pub for a pint, a slow one.
One evening his drink is interrupted. A man in shorts and pink shirt brings over his pint and sits down. He seems to know Victor’s name and to remember him from school. Says his name is Fitzpatrick.
Victor dislikes him on sight, dislikes too the memories that Fitzpatrick stirs up of five years being taught by the Christian Brothers.
He prompts other memories too – of Rachel, his beautiful wife who became a celebrity, and of Victor’s own small claim to fame, as the man who says the unsayable on the radio.
But it’s the memories of school, and of one particular Brother, that he cannot control and which eventually threaten to destroy his sanity.

Condizione: Como nuevo. : En 'Smile', Roddy Doyle nos presenta a Victor Forde, quien, tras mudarse a un nuevo apartamento y enfrentando la soledad, visita cada noche el pub Donnelly's. Una noche, un hombre llamado Fitzpatrick, que dice recordarlo de la escuela, interrumpe su bebida. La presencia de Fitzpatrick evoca recuerdos dolorosos de los años de Victor con los Hermanos Cristianos, así como de su ex esposa Rachel y su breve fama en la radio. Sin embargo, son los recuerdos de la escuela los que amenazan con desestabilizar su cordura. Esta novela, con el característico diálogo ágil y el humor de Doyle, explora temas de memoria, trauma y la dificultad de reconciliarse con el pasado.
