Albany, NY – Roddy Doyle's irrepressible Irish rebel Henry Smart is back in the conclusion to the trilogy that began with A Star Called Henry. And in the new book, The Dead Republic, Henry is not mellowing with age.
Roddy Doyle is the author of eight novels. In 1993 he won the Booker Prize for his novel Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha.
