"Roddy Doyle has earned a devoted following amongst those who appreciate his sly humor, acute ear for dialogue, and deeply human portraits of contemporary Ireland. The Deportees is Doyle's first-ever collection of short stories, and each tale describes the cultural collision-often funny and always poignant-between a native and someone new to the fast-changing country. From a nine-year- old African boy's first day at school to a man who's devised a test for \"Irishness\"to the return of The Commitments's Jimmy Rabbitte and the debut of his new multicultural band, Doyle offers his signature take on the immigrant experience in a volume reminiscent of his beloved early novels."@en . . . "Roddy Doyle has been writing stories for \"Metro Eireann\", a newspaper started by, and aimed at, immigrants to Ireland. Each of these stories took a new slant on the immigrant experience, something of increasing relevance and importance in today's Ireland."@en . . "The stories range from \"Guess Who's Coming to the Dinner\", where a father, who prides himself on his open-mindedness when his daughters talk about sex, is forced to confront his feelings when one of them brings home a black fella, to a terrifying ghost story, \"The Pram\", in which a Polish nanny grows impatient with her charge's older sisters and decides - in a phrase she has learnt - to \"scare them shitless\". Most of the stories are very funny - in \"57 % Irish\" Ray Brady tries to devise a test of Irishness by measuring reactions to Robbie Keane's goal against Germany in the 2002 World Cup, Riverdance and \"Danny Boy\" - others deeply moving." .
