Memoirs of a Wonky-Eyed Man : The Dad-Knows-Best Years, Hardback Book

Memoirs of a Wonky-Eyed Man : The Dad-Knows-Best Years Hardback

Hardback

Description

Jason Byrne is 17. With his leaving cert under his belt but no idea what to do next, who better to ask for advice than his dad, Paddy?

There’s a (very) short stint studying accountancy (he was asked to leave); a FÁS course with juvenile offenders to become a waiter that leads to an apprenticeship in Jury’s (he was the only one not in prison), and a job in a lighting warehouse (it ended with a collapsed lung).

But no matter what the problem, Paddy Byrne is always ready with a wise word: ‘Sure, that’s life, son.

Just don't tell your mother.’ This is not just a memoir.

It is a celebration of a generation, a celebration of life and of Jason’s wonderful relationship with his dad, Paddy Byrne – the man who never gave a b*llix.
