This Champagne Mojito is the Last Thing I Own

Ross O'Carroll-Kelly thought he had it all:

Nice gaff, cool cor, plenty of dosh, a stake in Dublin's trendiest nightclub and a face that made boyfriends jealous. To say nothing of a beautiful wife and kids ...

All that remained was for him to totally fock it up:

And I mean, totally ...

But did he see it coming? Of course not - too busy using his killer lines on the Seoige sisters:

And then it hit me, all at once, on a lonely night in the Ice Bar ...

Reviews

Gloriously, uproariously funny

—— IRISH TIMES

Consistently laugh-out-loud funny

—— IRISH INDEPENDENT

Moments of brilliance ... remains essential reading

—— IRISH DAILY MAIL

Women of Ireland rejoice - Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is back

—— U MAGAZINE

Delirium has a determined and muscular narrative, with dry humour and a terrible sense of menace

—— Daily Telegraph

This barrio angel teaches us to see behind the appearance of things and how to embrace reality with all the senses

—— Isabel Allende

Laura Restrepo's Delirium has an aesthetic distinction worthy of her precursors Garcia Marquez and Saramago. Like them, her narrative sense of erotic derangement is elaborately nuanced. Ultimately she seems to me an authentic descendent of the greatest New World author and seer of eros, Walt Whitman

—— Harold Bloom

This beautiful and disturbing book haunted me during the days I read it and long after I put it down. Love, unknowability, loss, and even various forms of gain elide from one to another of its passionate, unnerving voices

—— Vikram Seth

A compelling and unnerving novel that offers profound insights into the deep scars that violence leaves on the individual and society

—— Observer

Wodehouse is so utterly, properly, simply funny

—— Adele Parks

I've recorded all the Jeeves books, and I can tell you this: it's like singing Mozart. The perfection of the phrasing is a physical pleasure. I doubt if any writer in the English language has more perfect music

—— Simon Callow

Wodehouse was quite simply the Bee's Knees. And then some

—— Joseph Connolly

I constantly find myself drooling with admiration at the sublime way Wodehouse plays with the English language

—— Simon Brett

Quite simply, the master of comic writing at work

—— Jane Moore

To pick up a Wodehouse novel is to find oneself in the presence of genius - no writer has ever given me so much pure enjoyment

—— John Julius Norwich

Compulsory reading for anyone who has a pig, an aunt - or a sense of humour!

—— Lindsey Davis

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

—— Kathy Lette

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

—— Arabella Weir

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

—— Hugh Laurie

The greatest comic writer ever

—— Douglas Adams

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

—— Sebastian Faulks

Sublime comic genius

—— Ben Elton
