Plot
Reception
The New Statesman said "Smile is a Trojan Horse. The tale of how a man got on with his life after an abusive childhood, in part by laughing at it, is a disguise: Doyle’s tactic is to puncture the comedy of Irish storytelling and show that it can camouflage horrific histories. Doyle is one of the best writers of dialogue we have, using it with humour and drama."[1]

gollark: You know what would be *really* cool?
gollark: I think it's just because the ratios are crazy and weird.
