Nope. The third novel about the Rabbitte family was "The Van," which, I
had on the authority of Stephen Frears, whom I interviewed when "The
Snapper" was released," is owned by the people who made "The Commitments"
and is likely to be made by himself or Alan Parker. "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha
Ha" is Doyle's fourth book. Don't have any skinny on a film-in-the-works.
