A proposito di questo titolo

Brought to you by Penguin.

Patrick Freyne has tried a lot of stupid ideas in his life. Now, in his scintillating debut, he is here to tell you about them: like the time (aged 5) he opened a gate and let a horse out of its field, just to see what would happen; or the time (aged 19) he jumped out of a plane for charity, even though he didn't much care about the charity and was sure he'd end up dead; or the time (aged old enough to know better) he used a magazine as a funnel for fuel when the petrol cap on his band's van broke.

He has also learned a few things: about the power of group song; about the beauty of physically caring for another human being; about childlessness; about losing friends far too young. Life as seen through the eyes of Patrick Freyne is stranger, funnier and a lot more interesting than life as we generally know it. Like David Sedaris or Nora Ephron, he creates an environment all his own - fundamentally comic, sometimes moving, always deeply humane. OK, Let's Do Your Stupid Idea is a joyous reading experience from an instantly essential new writer.

Recensioni della critica

Patrick Freyne is a comic genius (Marian Keyes)
One of the year's funniest books ... witty, wise and worth returning to again and again
Funny, smart, soulful and sometimes devastating, this book shows life in all its shades. It made me laugh and cry (Emilie Pine, author of Notes to Self)
Warm, wry, charming, absorbing ... It's the most gorgeous and heartbreaking book about humans and why we need each other (Daisy Buchanan)
Funny and adorable (Nina Stibbe)
I was reminded - very happily reminded - of Kurt Vonnegut. But Patrick Freyne is his own writer and this book is clever, lovely and great, great fun (Roddy Doyle)
Patrick Freyne has a distinct and enviable gift for story-telling ... Full of humour and tenderness, this book is an absolute JOY (Sinéad Gleeson, author of Constellations)
One of the best-written, smartest and gosh-darn-it funniest books I've read in a very long while (Séamus O'Reilly)
Hilariously, painfully, Freynefully brilliant (Joseph O'Connor)
Whether he's writing about his childhood on a military base, working in a kebab shop with a nazi in his teens, playing in punk bands in his twenties, or grappling with the question of whether to have children, Patrick Freyne is a writer of rare humour, depth, and humanity. These essays are a delight (Mark O'Connell, author of To Be a Machine)
