A review by harvio
An Evening of Long Goodbyes by Paul Murray

3.0

- short-listed for the Whitbread Prize
- light, amusing upper-class comedy (in a P.G. Wodehouse sort of way) set in Dublin and its surroundings
- the protagonist, Charles Hythloday is accurately described as part Bertie Wooster and part Ignatius J. Reilly (from 'A Confederacy Of Dunces')
