I have borrowed a copy of Joe Treasure's first novel ''The Male Gaze'' from the library and look forward to reading it. Other recent novels partly or wholly set in Ireland are [[Brooklyn by Colm Toibin]] and ppTruth or Fiction by Jennifer Johnston]]. Another novel reviewed for the Bookbag about teenagers and their parents trying to work out their own identities, and the relationships within a family, is [[The Great Perhaps by Joe Meno]], which is set in Chicago.
