Disjointed and meandering tale of an Irish boy in the mid-1960s.
Mostly he hangs out with his buddies, stealing things, setting fires, and tormenting his younger brother. There's a slow-developing subplot about the disintegration of his parents' marriage and his trying to cope with the event.
Booker prize winner, which should have warned me. I don't know their criteria, but am generally disappointed with their choices.
