Dewey Decimal
Braywatch is a 2020 book by Irish journalist and author Paul Howard and is the twentieth novel in the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series.[2][3][4][5]
The title refers to the town of Bray, County Wicklow and the TV show Baywatch.[6]
Plot
Ross has become rugby coach at Presentation College, Bray. His daughter Honor has become a Greta Thunberg-style environmentalist.[7]
Reception
Writing in the Dublin Gazette, James Hendicott said that Braywatch was "exactly the kind of ludicrous frivolity that today’s Dublin needs" and that Ross is "so well-written that it’s hard to truly work out if his lack of self awareness, selfishness and deeply spoilt view on life actually make him a bad person, or just a fiercely misguided and unfaithful one who’s a little too stupid to understand fully how disgraceful he is."[8]
Braywatch was nominated for Popular Fiction Book of the Year at the 2020 Irish Book Awards.[9][10]
