Review of 'Night Boat to Tangier' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The terse life stories, both cruel and funny, of two Irish drug dealers recounted over the course of a day while they wait in a boat terminal in Algeciras, Spain. It clearly owes something to Beckett and probably to Joyce. The dialogue is both humorous and crude and begs to be read aloud especially if you can do an Irish accent.
