The Van
Synopsis
Roddy Doyle's acclaimed Booker Prize-nominated novel, "a darker portrayal of midlife crisis and an expansively farcical chain of misadventures" (The New York Times Book Review) Jimmy Rabitte, Sr. , is unemployed, spending his days alone and miserable. When his best friend, Bimbo, also gets laid off, they keep busy by being miserable together. Things seem to look up when they buy a decrepit fish-and-chips van and go into business, selling cheap grub to the drunk and the hungry-and keeping one step ahead of the environmental health officers. Set during the heady days of Ireland's brief, euphoric triumphs in the 1990 World Cup, The Van is a tender and hilarious tale of male friendship and family life. .
