Biography: Roddy Doyle was born in 1958 in Dublin and has grown up there, in
Kilbarrack, to be precise. Kilbarrack is a suburb in the north of Dublin, close
to the sea. He was a Geography and English teacher there and thus stayed in
touch with all generations of his neighborhood. He loves that part of town and
