Interpretation To Books The Butcher Boy
"I was thinking how right ma was -- Mrs. Nugent all smiles when she met us and how are you getting on Mrs and young Francis are you both well? . . .what she was really saying was: Ah hello Mrs Pig how are you and look Philip do you see what's coming now -- The Pig Family!"This is a precisely crafted, often lyrical, portrait of the descent into madness of a young killer in small-town Ireland. "Imagine Huck Finn crossed with Charlie Starkweather," said The Washington Post. Short-listed for the Bram Stoker Award and the Man Booker Prize.

The cheeky young scamp depicted on the comic strip is, I shortly discovered, several sandwiches short of a full picnic. Francis (Francie) Brady lives in a small town a little outside of Dublin; his mother had previously been 'sent to the garage to be fixed' and his father seems an alcoholic loser so Danny Boy here doesn't exactly
This is one of the most profoundly sad books I have ever read.
Francie Brady's ma is driven to death by her insanity. Francie's da dies drunk. The one (pick one) is probably not caused by the other. A list Francie writes - of those that matter but are now gone from him - barely doubles the number.Francie does not turn to drink, but he nurtures his own insanity. His acts are lurid, and evil.

This book seemed to me to be an amalgamation of Psycho and Fatal Attraction. We are introduced to Francie, an Irish lad, and are held as a captive audience as he descends into madness. Except that he doesn't really descend; it might to be more appropriate to say he sidesteps into madness...he was pretty close to the starting point when he was at his best.Francie is the product of a drunken, abusive, layabout father and a submissive and suicidal mother. He has few friends, only one really, but he
