Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha: Roddy Doyle

Paddy Clarke is ten years old. Paddy Clarke lights fires. Paddy Clarke`s name is written in wet cement all over Barrytown. Paddy Clarke`s heroes are Father Damien (and the lepers), Geronimo and George Best. Paddy Clarke knows the exact moment to knock a dead scab from his knee. Paddy Clarke hates his brother Francis because that`s the rule. Paddy Clarke loves his Ma and Da, but it seems like they don`t love each other, and Paddy wants to understand, but can`t.
