De guts en de glorie

Roddy Doyle manages to make us laugh while confronting serious issues like illness and mortality. What do you think about the way humor is used to handle such heavy topics?

The depiction of Dublin and Irish life felt so authentic; it made me wonder how much of Doyle's own experiences influenced the story. Did the setting enhance your reading experience?

The narrative dives deeply into his emotional landscape, making it feel very personal. I wonder if this was planned from the start or a result of the writing process.
