"[No one] can match Doyle for the fluency with which he tacks back and forth between the hilarious and the heartbreaking." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><p>Roddy Doyle has won acclaim for his wry wit, his uncanny ear, and his remarkable ability to fully capture the voices and hearts of his characters. <i>Bullfighting</i>, his second collection of stories, offers a series of bittersweet takes on men and middle age, revealing a panorama of Ireland today. Moving from classrooms to graveyards, from local pubs to bullrings, these tales of taking stock and reliving past glories feature men concerned with loss—of their place in the world, of their power, virility, health, and ability to love.</p>
