Irish Thought for September 28...

Irish Writers

Roddy Doyle

Born in Dublin, Roddy Doyle is a screenwriter, playwright, and novelist.  The movies The Commitments and The Snapper were based on his novels.  Also, in 1993, Doyle won the Booker Prize for his novel Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, a book notable for its beautiful childlike use of language.

Hmmm, I do not know what the Booker Prize is, so if I have not heard of the prize, I am guessing that there is a good reason.  Therefore, I would not call this award an accomplishment.  If anyone is out there that can make me believe differently, I will let you write the Irish Thought for an Upcoming Day!
