What is The Brothers' lot : a novel about?

Review Kevin Holohan's strange yet disconcertingly recognizable world has echoes of Flann O'Brien's and Monty Python's, but there is rage as well as absurdist comedy. THE BROTHERS' LOT is a memorable, skillfully wrought, and evocative satire of an Ireland that has collapsed under the weight of its contradictions. --Joseph O'Connor, author of STAR OF THE SEA "Kevin Holohan's wickedly funny debut novel, set in a rundown Dublin religious school where the spirits are low but the Gaelic pride runs high, will make you laugh almost as much as it makes you weep, for beyond their almost comical incompetence and a thin veneer of piety the Brothers who run the place are sad, flawed men, whose weaknesses range from sadism to depravity. They educate by cudgel and dole out discipline with a leather strap, while protagonist Finbar Sullivan and the other long-suffering students bear it all with the kind of wise-cracking cynicism, irreverence, and pranks that one would expect at that age." --Preston Allen, author of Jesus Boy Product Description "Kevin Holohan's strange yet disconcertingly recognizable world has echoes of Flann O'Brien's and Monty Python's, but there is rage as well as absurdist
