Rónán Hession’s Leonard and Hungry Paul is a thoughtful and amusing story about two thirty-something male friends navigating through a few of life’s major and minor turning points. Leonard is adjusting to living alone after his mother's passing while best friend Hungry Paul, the baby of a close knit family of four, is being lightly pressured by his engaged older sister to find a real career and move out of the family home.
The novelty of the story is that differences of opinion are handled with respect and good will. If you’re used to reading fast-paced stories full of unsavory characters and lots of conflict, Leonard and Hungry Paul is a refreshing change of pace featuring relatable characters you'll enjoy getting to know. Bibliophiles will also appreciate Leonard's literary aspirations and Hungry Paul's attempt to win a writing contest.
Rónán Hession is an Irish writer, musician, and social worker who has released three musical albums under the name Mumblin' Def Ro. Published in 2019. Leonard and Hungry Paul was chosen for the 2021 One Dublin, One Book festival and a finalist for both the Irish Book of the Year and the British Book of the Year awards.
