HTML: A disarming novel that asks a simple question: Can gentle people change the world? In this charming and truly unique debut, popular Irish musician Ronan Hession tells the story of two single, thirty-something men who still live with their parents and who are . . . nice.

He found book shops to be comforting places and book buying a comforting activity, but he was an absent-minded reader these days, the act of reading that much more solitary without his mother pottering around the house in the background. The job suited him as he was interested in pretty much everything interesting, and he preferred to play a minor part in someone else's story rather than being his own star. Hungry Paul lived on a knife edge between a passion for board games and an aversion to instruction booklets. Hungry Paul had always been fascinated by the world around him viewing it as something fantastical. It was as if he saw the body of scientific understanding as an anthology of legends, something so wonderful and impenetrable that it might as well be a myth. He liked borrowing copies of National Geographic from the library, sometimes months in arrears, not that it mattered when he was reading articles about carbon dating or the Persians. In this way he maintained a lively interest in the wider world, while staying above and apart from what is generally described as current affairs. But now that he had found a little shelf of peace within himself, he could feel the happiness in the room and no longer felt excluded from it. (p. 220) He realised that he kind of like weird people. Maybe it was their intensity. (p. 222) Sunday Night Quiet Club
