Description

"Holohan's capability to create the type of free-moving naturalistic conversation that so potently delivers the spirit of schoolboy combat. . . is seated by a shadow play of macabre referrals to disasters that cat round the sides of the plot, several strangely much like a few of the more notorious actual life reviews that have surfaced in new years."--The Irish TimesCombining the nature of Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim having a bawdy evisceration of hypocrisy in old-school Catholic training, The Brothers' Ton is just a witty satire that tells the tale of the Brothers of Godly Coercion School for Young Kids of Stingy Means, a dilapidated Dickensian establishment work by an assemblage of odd, crazy, and frequently unpleasant celibate Brothers.
