Meet Charlie Savage: a middle-aged Dubliner with an indefatigable wife, an exasperated daughter, a drinking buddy who's realized that he's been a woman all along... Compiled here for the first time is a whole year's worth of Roddy Doyle's hilarious series for the IRISH INDEPENDENT, about a man reconciling with the irrefutable reality of having more past than future - or, as Charlie's daughter puts it, "in the prime of your decline". Giving a unique voice to the everyday, he draws a portrait of a man - funny, loyal, somewhat bewildered - trying to keep pace with the modern world (if his knees don't give out first). Ultimately, however, CHARLIE SAVAGE is a celebration of how joy can be plucked from the tiniest, unlikeliest moments, and how laughter can be ignited in even the worst circumstances.
