Well they do say you should write about what you know. Irish-born writer
Kevin Maher made a virtue of that in his debut novel, The Fields, and
he's working off a similar template for his zany, turbo-charged
follow-up, Last Night on Earth.
Pertinent film references pepper the narrative as you might expect from an author who is also an occasional presenter, alongside Claudia Winkleman, of BBC's Film 2015, while Irish colloquialisms are thrown around like, well, snuff at a wake. Think Father Ted as imagined by Quentin Tarantino and you're well on the way to getting a feel for the narrative strands that punctuate this picaresque piece.
