A disarming novel that asks a simple question: Can gentle people
change the world?
In this charming and truly unique debut, popular Irish musician Ronan
Hession tells the story of two single, thirty-something men who still
live with their parents and who are . . . nice. They take care of their
parents and play board games together. They like to read. They take
satisfaction from their work. They are resolutely kind. And they realize
that none of this is considered . . . normal.
Leonard and Hungry Paul is the story of two friends struggling to
protect their understanding of what's meaningful in life. It is about
the uncelebrated people of this world -- the gentle, the meek, the
humble. And as they struggle to persevere, the book asks a surprisingly
enthralling question: Is it really them against the world, or are they
on to something?
