For his many devoted readers: the first collection of stories from Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle.For the past few years Roddy Doyle has written stories for Metro Eireann, a magazine by and for immigrants to Ireland. Each of the stories takes a new slant on the immigrant experience, something of increasing relevance and importance in Ireland today. The Deportees now brings those stories together for all of Roddys devoted readers, ranging from a terrifying ghost story, The Pram, in which a Polish nanny grows impatient with her charges older sisters and decidesusing a phrase she has just learntto scare them shitless, to the glorious title story itself, where Jimmy Rabbitte, the man who formed the beloved Commitments, decides its time to find a new band, and this time no white Irish need apply. Multicultural to a fault, the Deportees specialize not in soul music, but in the songs of Woody Guthrie.From the Hardcover edition.
