Charlie Savage (novel)Charlie Savage is a 2019 novel by Irish writer Roddy Doyle, shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize. The novel consisted of a year of appearances in the weekend magazine appearing in the Irish Independent.
Plot
Charlie Savage is a 60-year-old grandfather living in Dublin, he dotes on his grandchildren and dogs, has an indefatigable wife playing drums in a sexagenarian punk covers band; and his drinking mate identifies as a woman. Though the short 52 chapters mark a week in his life over a year, the same characters and themes repeat. For example his chest now has a tattoo of SpongeBob to stop his three-year-old grandson from wanting one; his best mate Martin has now fallen in love with Charlie's first girlfriend Eleanor Pidgeon; and Charlie's love of watching football on Match of the Day.
