The Dead School Paperback book

The Dead School

by Patrick McCabe

Malachy Dudgeon has escaped the misery and madness of his childhood home and landed a job in the most famous school in Dublin. The headmaster, Raphael Bell, has overcome his own tragedies to forge a model career, but when Malachy Dudgeon and Raphael Bell meet, they become inextricably engaged in a macabre relationship which proves fatal to their fortunes and their sanity. 'McCabe can make you howl at the darkest antics ...He never sets a foot - or syllable - wrong. His novel is death on a laugh-support machine. Stupendous.' - Scotland on Sunday. 'Raphael, the great headmaster, is a marvellous creation ...McCabe has a charm as a storyteller which is all his own' - Sunday Telegraph. 'Exhilarating. Reading the distilled gouts of consciousness which pour from the minds of these characters is like being trapped on a big dipper with articulate maniacs ...Horribly funny' - The Times. 'An appallingly funny story ...horribly memorable' - Times Literary Supplement.
