JIMMY RABBITTE IS BACK.The man who invented The Committments back in the eighties is now forty-seven,with a loving wife,four kids ... and bowel cancer.He isn't dying,he thinks,but he might be. Jimmy still loves his music,and he still loves to hustle - his new thing is finding old bands and then finding the people who loved them enough to pay money for their resurrected singles and albums.On his path through Dublin he meets two of The Committments - Outspan,whose own illness is probably terminal,and Imelda Quirk,still as gorgeous as ever.He is reunited with his long-lost brother and learns to play the trumpet. . . This warm,funny novel is about friendship and family,about facing death and opting for life.It climaxes in one of the great passages in Roddy Doyle's fiction: four middle-aged men at Ireland's hottest rock festival watching Jimmy's son Marvin's band Moanin' at Midnight pretending to be Bulgarian and playing a song called 'I'm Going to Hell' that apparently hasn't been heard since 1932. . . 4th title in Jimmy Rabbitte series.
