by Dorothy Allison
This fiercely moving, unforgettable first novel tells the story of Ruth Anne Boatwright--called Bone by her family--a South Carolina bastard with an annotated birth certificate to tell the tale.

The Snapper
Doyle, Roddy
Penguin. August 1, 1992. Paperback. Very Good+. Dublin playwright Doyle's first novel, The Commitments (Vintage, 1989), tol d the story of Jimmy Rabbitte Jr.'s formation of Ireland's first soul band and went on to become a popular film. These two volumes continue the saga o f the Rabbitte family in the mythic working-class Dublin neighborhood of Ba rrytown. The Snapper concerns the unplanned pregnancy of the eldest daughte r, delineating nine months of sparring between Sharon, who refuses to revea l the baby's father, and Jimmy Sr., the clan's vulgar, witty patriarch. Amo ng its many other virtues, it offers a sensitive fictional narrative of pre gnancy. The Van picks up a year or so later. Jimmy Sr. is now unemployed, h is family is growing up, and gloom has set in. Consolation comes when his b est friend Bimbo also becomes "redundant" and the two go in together on a f ilthy, used fish-and-chips van. Their riotous adventures give a new spin to the notion of male bonding. Brilliantly constructed from the details of ev eryday life, both novels are made up almost entirely of dialog: sharp, crac kling, relentless vernacular speech that never patronizes the characters. T his is great comic writing that makes you laugh for pages yet keeps you awa re that you could, instead, be crying. ( more information)
