?Skippy and Ruprecht are having a doughnut-eating race one evening when Skippy turns purple and falls off his chair . . .? And so begins this epic, tragic, comic, brilliant novel set in and around Dublin?s Seabrook College for Boys. Principally concerning the lives, loves, mistakes and triumphs of overweight maths-whiz Ruprecht Van Doren and his roommate Daniel ?Skippy? Juster, it features a frisbee-throwing siren called Lori, the joys (and horrors) of first love, the use and blatant misuse of prescription drugs, Carl (the official school psychopath), various attempts to unravel string theory . . . while at the same time exploring the very deepest mysteries of the human heart.
