“What we see when we pass through the sullen, monosyllabic and defensive exteriors that comprise most teenage boys will terrify parents everywhere—a vast, swarming cesspit of troubled thoughts, anxiety, turbulent sexual desires and disturbing violent ideation . . . [Doyle] has a remarkable way of articulating the innermost thoughts of young men . . . [He] perfectly describes the disaffected experience of most suburban teenagers . . . The result is a dark and intoxicating debut.” —Irish Independent

“A Clockwork Orange, Less Than Zero, Trainspotting, Fight Club: delinquent fiction warrants a bookshelf of its own. Rob Doyle’s debut novel, Here Are the Young Men, merits special attention . . . [It] probably won’t go down well in polite society . . . So be it: brutalism is a young man’s game . . . A rough but powerful debut.” —Irish Times
