November's Tubridy Show Bookclub choice is 'The Other Hand' by Chris Cleave. Read more about this book and previous books featured in the The Tubridy Show Book Club below.
November 2009 - 'The Other Hand' by Chris Cleave
Little Bee is a 16-year-old African girl
Sarah is a magazine editor
Charlie is her four-year-old son, who will only answer to 'Batman'
Find out how their lives intertwine. . .
The Other Hand is an endlessly surprising work which defies description or genre boundaries. With its vivid characters and cracking dialogue, The Other Hand is an accessible novel - but again and again Chris Cleave shocks readers out of their complacency with an unsettling combination of humour, terror and excitement. It is a novel that, once started, will not let go until the final page.
October 2009 - 'The Lost Symbol' by Dan Brown
Click here to listen back to the review
As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object--artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation... one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.
When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon--a prominent Mason and philanthropist--is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations--all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.
September 2009 - 'Brooklyn' by Colm Tóibín
Click here to listen back to the review
In a small town in the south-east of Ireland in the 1950s, Eilis Lacey is one among many of her generation who cannot find work at home. So when a job is offered in America, it is clear that she must go. Leaving her family and home, Eilis sets off to forge a new life for herself in Brooklyn. Young, homesick and alone, she gradually buries the pain of parting beneath the rhythms of a new life - days at the till in a large department store, night classes in Brooklyn College and Friday evenings on the dance floor of the parish hall - until she realizes that she has found a sort of happiness. But when tragic news summons her back to Ireland, and the constrictions of her old life unexpectedly give way to new possibilities, she finds herself facing a terrible choice: between love and happiness in the land where she belongs and the promises she must keep on the far side of the ocean.
Brooklyn is a tender story of great love and loss, and of the heartbreaking choice between personal freedom and duty. In the character of Eilis Lacey Colm Tóibín has created a remarkable heroine and in Brooklyn a novel of devastating emotional power.
June 2009 - 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson
Click here to listen back to the review
Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family.
He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the
tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.
'I haven't read such a stunning thriller debut for years. Brilliantly written and totally gripping'. Minette Walters
'As vivid as bloodstains on snow - a perfect one-volume introduction to the unique strengths of Scandinavian crime fiction'. Lee Child
May 2009 - 'The Damned Utd' by David Peace
Click here to hear the review
David Peace's novel about Brian Clough and his ill-fated 44 days is
one of the most acclaimed novels of this, or any other, year.
'Amazing. I can't imagine there's ever been a more extraordinary football novel in any language.' - Richard Williams
'So powerful. And brave. It strikes me as being more like music or painting.' - Gordon Burn
Sunday is the loneliest bloody day of the fucking week for the manager of a football club. The manager's office on a Sunday bloody morning, the loneliest fucking place on earth if you lost the day before -Leeds won yesterday - just, thanks to Michael Bates - but I'm still the only one here today in this empty office, on this empty corridor, under this empty stand .
Set in the bleak heart of the 1970s, The Damned Utd is a narrative of that decade seen through the extraordinary figure of Brian Clough: maverick motivator, and perhaps the greatest manager never to take charge of the England football team. Clough's ill-fated 44-day tenure at Elland Road and his grim obsession with the ghostly figure of Don Revie is the immediate subject of The Damned Utd; but the story that emerges is much more than that of a football club and a man driven by fear of failure and unquestionable genius. It's the story of a country imploding and a political and cultural landscape on the turn.
'A unique combination of material and talent. I can't see it as less than remarkable - a bewitching mixture of youth and conviction - screened, the whole of it, through a lyrical sensibility' - David Storey, author of This Sporting Life
April 2009 - 'The White Tiger' by Aravind Adiga
Meet Balram Halwai, the 'White Tiger': a short, potbellied teashop worker turned chauffeur, who is by turns a philosopher, comedian, confidence trickster, entrepreneur and murderer. Over the course of seven nights, by the scattered light of a preposterous chandelier, Balram tells his story. Born in a village in heartland India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape - of breaking away from the banks of Mother Ganga, into whose depths have seeped the remains of a hundred generations. His big chance comes when a rich village landlord hires him as a chauffeur for his son, daughter-in-law, and their two Pomeranian dogs. From behind the wheel of a Honda, Balram first sees New Delhi. The city is a revelation. Amid the cockroaches and call-centers; the 36,000,004 gods, the slums, the shopping malls and the crippling traffic jams, Balram's re-education begins. Caught between his instinct to be a loyal son and servant, and his desire to better himself, he learns of a new morality at the heart of a new India. While the other servants flick through the pages of Murder Weekly, Balram begins to see how the Tiger might escape his cage. For surely any successful man must spill a little blood on his way to the top?
The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram's journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.
March 2009 - 'The Uncommon Reader' by Alan Bennett.
Stumbling on the Westminster travelling library in the grounds of 
Buckingham Palace, the Queen befriends its only borrower, a ginger-haired kitchen hand called Norman. With Norman as her reading companion, Her Majesty explores the English canon and beyond - from Ivy Compton Burnett to Vikram Seth, Anita Brookner to Jean Genet. So disconcerting and dangerous does her reading become that Norman (blamed for encouraging it) is banished to the University of East Anglia's School of Creative Writing. In the ensuing battle of wills between the Queen and the philistines what happens next is very surprising indeed. Written as light hearted comedy, but littered with steel-tipped barbs about snobbery, politics, prejudice and the subversive power of reading, the Queen's literary odyssey shows Alan Bennett on superlative form and delivering some of his sharpest lines ever.
February 2009 - 'The Secret Scripture' by Sebastian Barry
From the twice Booker-shortlisted author of A Long Long Way: Roseanne McNulty is nearing her hundredth birthday in the mental hospital where she was committed as a young woman. Finishing up his case notes before the hospital is closed, psychiatrist Dr Grene finds himself intrigued by the story of his elderly patient. While Dr Grene investigates, Roseanne looks back on the tragedies and passions she has locked away in her secret journal, from her turbulent rural childhood to the marriage she believed would bring her happiness. But when Dr Grene finally uncovers the circumstances of her arrival at the hospital, it leads to a shocking secret.
January 2009 - 'Testimony' by Anita Shreve
At a New England boarding school, a sex scandal breaks. Even more shocking than the sexual acts themselves is the fact they were caught on camera. A Pandora's box of revelations, the graphic images trigger a chorus of voices - those of the men, women, teenagers and parents involved in the scandal - that details the ways in which lives can be derailed or destroyed in one foolish moment.
A gripping emotional drama with the pace of a thriller, Anita Shreve's Testimony explores the dark impulses that sway the lives of seeming innocents, and how our best intentions can all too easily lead to our worst transgressions.
December 2008: 'Revolutionary Road' by Richard Yates
Hailed as a masterpiece from its first publication, Revolutionary Road is the story of Frank and April Wheeler, a bright young couple who are bored by the banalities of suburban life and long for the extraordinary. With heartbreaking compassion and clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank & April's decision to change their lives for the better leads to betrayal and tragedy.

November 2008: 'With my Lazy Eye' by Julia Kelly
This remarkable first novel releases the voice of Lucy 'Bunty' Bastonme as she makes her journey through adolescence in 
1980s Ireland. In the book Bunty makes discoveries about her father that free her from the prison and shelter of a protracted childhood...
This is a quirky, poignant coming-of-age story like no other.
Julia Kelly's is surely the freshest voice in Irish fiction since the wonderful early novels of Edna O'Brien. This is a future to watch.' - John Banville
October 2008: 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' by Mohsin Hamid
In Mohsin Hamid's acclaimed novel, a Pakistani man converses with a 
stranger at a café table in Lahore. As dusk deepens to dark, he begins the tale that has brought him to this fateful meeting... Not only was it shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2007 it also won the 2008 Southbank Award for Literature.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist
Among the brightest and best of his graduating class at Princeton, Changez is snapped up by an elite firm and thrives on New York and the intensity of his work. And his infatuation with fragile Erica promises entree into Manhattan society on the exalted footing his own family once held back in Lahore. For a time, it seems as though nothing will stand in the way of Changez's meteoric rise to personal and professional success: the fulfilment of the immigrant's dream. But in the wake of September 11, he finds his position in the city he loves suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with Erica eclipsed by the reawakened ghosts of her past. And Changez's own identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances more fundamental than money, power, and perhaps even love.
About the Author:
Mohsin Hamid grew up in Lahore, attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School and worked for several years as a management consultant in New York. His first novel, Moth Smoke, was published in ten languages, won a Betty Trask award, was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award, and was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Mohsin Hamid currently lives, works and writes in London.

May 2008: 'Teacher Man: A Memoir' by Frank McCourt
'Teacher Man: A Memoir' by Frank McCourt is his account of 
working as a high-school teacher for thirty years in New York City. This is the third volume of his memoirs, of which Pulitzer Prize winning 'Angela's Ashes' is best known.
McCourt tried teaching his students Shakespeare and verbs, but more often than not they'd get him onto his favourite subject which was his poverty stricken childhood in Ireland. His unorthodox approach to teaching was frowned upon by principals and department heads who lectured him to never share anything personal. Too interested in his pupils' lives, McCourt saw himself more as a kindred spirit with more questions than answers. Funny, honest, rich in story telling, 'Teacher Man' describes the dignity and difficulties of a largely thankless profession with uncommon perception. (Published in 2005, by Harper Perennial).
The Tubridy Show Book Club: April 2008
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger (Penguin)
The Catcher in the Rye is reclusive J.D.Salinger's master work and 
is an American classic. It is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection.
Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you.
Written with the clarity of a boy leaving childhood, it deals with society, love, loss, and expectations without ever falling into the clutch of a cliché.
The Tubridy Show Book Club: March 2008
March 2008: What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn (Tindal Street)
What Was Lost is a mystery novel about 
a girl who goes missing in a shopping centre. The little girl is called Kate Meaney and, in 1984, she frequently played in the newly-opened Green Oaks Centre, pretending to be a detective and following people. 20 years later, CCTV footage suddenly starts showing a girl, holding a soft toy, wandering through the Centre. Could it be Kate? The author apparently found inspiration for the book while she was working as a mystery shopper. She was also interested in the difference in shopping centres by day and by night.
Catherine O'Flynn was born and grew up in Birmingham. Her Irish-born parents owned a sweetshop there, and Catherine worked as a teacher, a web editor, and a postwoman, before writing What Was Lost, which is her first novel. It's not been a bad start for her - the book won the Costa Prize and was long-listed for both the Man Booker and Orange prizes.
The Tubridy Show Book Club: February 2008
February 2008: The Road
by Cormac McCarthy (Picador)
Ryan mentioned The Road during a discussion of the Coen Brothers' film version of No Country For Old Men and the response was immediate. One listener wrote that The Road is "hard and brutal, but deeply rewarding. One line haunts me still: Are we the good guys?" The Road describes a journey taken by a father and his young son over a period of several months - but it's no ordinary journey. The man and his son are walking south, apparently through America, across a landscape that's been ruined by an unnamed disaster.
The Road is written in McCarthy's distinctive, spare style. It's been widely praised since it was first published in 2006 and it won the Pulitzer Prize for its author. Many of McCarthy's books have been made into films - most recently No Country For Old Men - and The Road is currently in pre-production, with Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortensen on board. It's a fairly short book; it's in paperback; and many people claim to have read it in one or two sittings
The Tubridy Show Book Club: January 2008
January 2008: Christine Falls by Benjamin Black (Pan Macmillan)
First published in 2006, Christine Falls is a crime novel set in 1950s Dublin. A pathologist, Garret Quirke, investigates the circumstances behind the death of a young woman named Christine Falls and uncovers a conspiracy that goes to the heart of the Irish establishment. The book is filled with recognisable characters and groups from 1950s Ireland - drunken writers, religious knights, distant hospital consultants and nuns.
Benjamin Black is actually a pseudonym for one of Ireland's best known writers - Booker Prize-winning author John Banville. In an interview with the Tubridy Show, Banville said that Christine Falls was all about story, whereas the books he writes under his own name are more about style. Whatever the intention, the book's a dark, pacey and engaging piece of crime fiction.

The Tubridy Show Book Club: December 2007
December 2007: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (Penguin)
The story of Catherine, Heathcliff and a forbidding house on the English moors, Wuthering Heights was Emily Bronte's only novel. It was first published in December 1847, under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. The book met with harsh reactions from readers and critics who saw it as depressing and morose, and even immoral.
160 years later, Wuthering Heights is regarded as a literary classic. Most of us read it at school, but there's more to this classic than a place on the Leaving Cert syllabus. If you read it as a teenager or, like Ryan, have only ever seen the big-screen versions, then grab a copy and see if you can avoid humming THAT Kate Bush song while reading it!

The Tubridy Show Book Club: November 2007
November 2007: The Collector by John Fowles
(Vintage Classics)
The Collector was the first novel by John Fowles, author of The French Lieutenant's Woman.
Published in 1963, it tells the unsettling story of Frederick, a butterfly collector who stalks and abducts art student Miranda and keeps her captive in the basement of a remote house he has bought with his pools winnings.
The book is told first from his perspective, and then hers. Their views on love, freedom and the right to life are fascinating and the psychology of the relationship between the abductor and his victim should make for an interesting Book Club discussion.

The Tubridy Show Book Club: October 2007
October 2007: The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion (Harper Perennial).
"I remember thinking that I needed to discuss this with John.
There was nothing I did not discuss with John.
Because we were both writers and both worked at home our days were filled with the sound of each other's voices."
Writer Joan Didion's husband John Gregory Dunne died suddenly in December 2003, in their own apartment, at a time when their daughter Quintana was severely ill in hospital. They had been together for forty years. A writer by trade, Didion immediately sought to understand and analyse her loss through writing. The book is an exploration of what happens in that first year of bereavement - how you cope, how the people around you react, and how you remember the person who has died.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: September 2007
The Book Club Choice for September is Boy by Roald Dahl (Puffin)
Our book for September is Boy by Roald Dahl (Puffin). We all know Dahl as the fantastical mind behind children's classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach but he also wrote two volumes of memoir, the first of which is Boy.
Boy tells the story of Dahl's family, his childhood, and the formative experiences that turned him into a successful children's writer. There are things in the book that help to explain some of his more peculiar fascinations - a terrifying school matron, the car accident where he nearly lost his nose, and working as a chocolate taster for Cadbury's.
Boy is one of those books that can be read by adults and children alike, so we'd love to hear from families who've read the book. And if, for whatever reason, you've never read ANY Roald Dahl, then this is the place to start.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: June 2007
The Book Club Choices for June are On Chesil Beach (Jonathan Cape) and The Comfort of Strangers (Vintage) by Ian McEwan.
We have chosen two books for June, but the workload won't be too daunting, as they are two slim volumes. Ian Mc Ewan's most recent novel is On Chesil Beach and we have paired it with his second book, The Comfort of Strangers, which was published in 1981.
Two couples, two holidays. Colin and Mary in The Comfort of Strangers are in Venice where they meet Robert, a stranger who lures them into his deeply unsettling world. Edward and Florence in On Chesil Beach are on their honeymoon but he is nervous about the intimacies of the wedding night and she is fearful of what is expected of her.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: May 2007
The book: A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo (Chatto & Windus).
A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers tells the story of a young Chinese woman who calls herself Z because English people can't pronounce her name. She comes to England to learn English and falls in love with a man a few years her senior. The book is written in deliberately bad English, but as her standard improves, the vocabulary in the book expands and the complexities of the story are explored.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: April 2007
The book: Tenderwire by Claire Kilroy (Faber and Faber).
Tenderwire tells the story of Eva Tyne, a young Irish violinist living and working in New York. Eva is offered what appears to be a rare violin - and she becomes obsessed with owning and playing it. The book moves between New York and Dublin; there are some amazing depictions of what it's like to perform onstage with a full orchestra; and it features some very shady eastern Europeans who pop up along the way! It's the second novel by this young Irish writer - and it's impressed a lot of people since it was first published last year.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: March 2007
The book: Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh (Publisher: Penguin)
For many, Brideshead Revisited was the television highlight of the 1980s. The 11-part series, starring Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews, explored a peculiarly English, aristocratic world that crumbled during the Second World War But before the television series there was Evelyn Waugh's novel, which tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmain family. Teddy bears, Catholicism, sexual awakenings, money and war - Brideshead Revisited has never been out of print since it was first published in 1945.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: February 2007
The book: Everyman by Philip Roth (Publisher: Jonathan Cape).
Everyman deals with one of Roth's favourite themes - old age. It opens with the funeral of the anonymous lead character, who tells his story from inside an open grave. In life, he was a successful advertising executive, from a New Jersey Jewish family, who retired to a life of teaching and painting by the sea. The funeral introduces the man's wives, children, siblings and mistresses, before describing his life through dozens of illnesses and visits to hospital
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: January 2007
The book: Q&A by Vikas Swarup (Publisher : Black Swan).
It begins : 'I have been arrested. For winning a quiz show.' Set in India, it follows the bizarre story of Ram Mohammad Thomas who has won a billion rupees and consequently wound up in jail. As the story evolves, we learn of the twelve extraordinary events in his life that gave him the answers.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: December 2006
The book: A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens (Penguin Classics)
Our December book club choice is A Christmas Carol (full title A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas). First published in 1843 and intended principally to pay off some of Dickens's debts, the book was an instant success and was credited at the time with redefining a popular sense of Christmas.
It's a morality tale in which a bitter old miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, who cares for nothing but accumulation of wealth, has a ghostly and redemptive experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: November 2006
The book: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby (Harper Perennial)
In December 1995, at the age of 43 Bauby, a father of two young children and editor-in-chief of French Elle, suffered a sudden and severe stroke in the brain stem and emerged from a coma several weeks later to find himself in a rare condition called "locked-in syndrome" (LIS). Although his mind was intact, he had lost virtually all physical control, able to move only his left eyelid. Unable to write or speak, Bauby dictated his memoir letter by letter by blinking his left eyelid. Bauby survived just long enough to see his memoir published in the spring of 1997.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: October 2006
The book: Marley and Me by John Grogan (Hodder & Stoughton)
A surprise hit overseas, Marley and Me by Philadelphia Inquirer columnist John Grogan made it to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Marley and Me is the story of one young couple's relationship with their rebellious pet Labrador, and his role in their expanding family.
Marley is, by all accounts, "the world's worst dog". He eats drywall, flings drool on guests, steals women's underwear, and somehow manages to shut down an entire public beach.
Marley and Me is all about how a dog can come to share and even dominate your life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tubridy Show Book Club: September 2006
The book: The Midnight Choir by Gene Kerrigan (Harvill Secker)
Author Gene Kerrigan, well-known for his back page column in the Sunday Independent spoke to Ryan on Wednesday 19 September about his novel, The Midnight Choir, our Barry's Tea Book Club choice for September.
The Midnight Choir was reviewed on Friday 29 September by Greta Kelly, a listener who lives in West Cork and John Mooney, crime correspondent with the Star on Sunday.
It's a modern Irish crime novel set in Dublin and Galway. The book opens in Galway; there's a man on a roof about to jump off. It soon moves to Dublin, where we are introduced to Harry Synnott, a garda detective who believes that what he achieves in the force is in the interest of the common good. The tension in the novel focuses on his moral judgement - his intention may be to do the right thing, but his methods are flawed.
Greta Kelly thought that the book lacked the necessary layers to make it a good book club read and although she enjoyed the characterisations, she felt that there was no sense of redemption in the book. She also thought that the author introduced too many characters and too many references to the ills of modern Ireland. 'Not enough layers' was her overall impression.
John Mooney admired Kerrigan's skill in drawing the reader in, but felt that the depiction of crime in Dublin was mild compared to what is really happening on the streets. He felt that the depiction of garda corruption was valid, but he didn't think that the book would be a favourite with the gardaí!
