LONGLISTED FOR THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE 2021One of the years funniest books i PaperFunny, smart, soulful and sometimes devastating ... It made me laugh and cry EMILIE PINE, author of Notes to Self_______________Patrick Freyne has tried a lot of stupid ideas in his life. Now, he is here to tell you about them: like the time (aged 5) he opened a gate and let a horse out of its field, just to see what would happen; or the time (aged 19) he jumped out of a plane for charity, even though he didnt much care about the charity and was sure hed end up dead; or the time (aged old enough to know better) he used a magazine as a funnel for fuel when the petrol cap on his bands van broke.He has also learned a few things: about the power of group song; about the beauty of physically caring for another human being; about childlessness; about losing friends far too young. Life as seen through the eyes of Patrick Freyne is stranger, funnier and a lot more interesting than life as we generally know it. Like David Sedaris or Nora Ephron, he creates an environment all his own - fundamentally comic, sometimes moving, always deeply humane. OK, Lets Do Your Stupid Idea is a joyous reading experience from an instantly essential new writer.______________Patrick Freyne is a comic genius MARIAN KEYESClever, lovely and great, great fun RODDY DOYLEFunny and adorable NINA STIBBEThe most gorgeous and heartbreaking book about humans and why we need each other DAISY BUCHANANHilariously, painfully, Freynefully brilliant JOSEPH OCONNORWonderful ...
