Resumen

Roddy Doyle es un escritor que ha reflejado cómo la existencia humana es una combinación de comedia y tragedia, y que, por tanto, todos los grandes males—fanatismo, absolutismo, dogmatismo—son el resultado de atender solo a la dimensión trágica. Esto se hace patente en The Dead Republic (2010), una novela en la que la actitud cómica ante la vida de Henry Smart permite a Doyle ofrecer al lector una visión objetiva en absoluto sentimental de la historia irlandesa contemporánea. Tanto John Ford como el IRA intentan adaptar la historia de Henry como héroe republicano a su noción de lo que es lo irlandés y precisamente en su respuesta a esta perversión de la historia, de la política y de la identidad nacional irlandesa, Henry se nos revela como el perfecto héroe cómico que subvierte todo esfuerzo de mistificar la realidad.
