Synopsis
Praised as “a masterpiece” by the Washington Post , A Star Called Henry introduced the unforgettable Henry Smart and left Roddy Doyle’s innumerable fans clamoring for more. Now, in his first novel set in America, Doyle delivers. Oh, Play That Thing opens with Henry on the run from his Irish Republican paymasters, arriving in New York City in 1924. But in New York, and later Chicago—where he meets a man playing wild, happy music called Louis Armstrong—Henry finds he cannot escape his past. A highly entertaining cross-country epic and a magnificent follow-up to A Star Called Henry , this prodigious, energetic, sexy novel is another Roddy Doyle triumph.
