«Puckoon. Eine irische Dorfgeschichte» is Spike Milligan's satirical novel, published by Dtv in paperback (160 pages, in German).
In 1924, the Boundary Commission draws the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic; through incompetence and neglect, the line ends up splitting the village of Puckoon. Houses separated from their privies, husbands from their wives, and pubs from their customers. In the middle is Dan Milligan, an inept protagonist harassed by everyone, including the author himself.
This German edition, translated by Arnd Kösling, appeared in 1998; the original work was published in 1963.
An ideal read for those who enjoy satirical comedy, absurd humour, and stories set in Ireland.
