«Paddy Clarke, ja, ja, ja» is the novel by Roddy Doyle, published by Espasa in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
Paddy Clarke, a boy from Barrytown, runs through the streets with his gang: they play cowboys, write their names in wet cement and get up to mischief. They are not bad boys, just restless. When his parents argue, Paddy stays awake to keep them safe; he knows that changes are coming, and not always for the better.
The original, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, was published in 1993 and won the Booker Prize. The Spanish edition from Espasa appeared in 1998.
For readers of contemporary Irish fiction and coming-of-age novels with a child protagonist.
