ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at three books dealing with Ross's marriage and children. PS, I Scored the Bridesmaids describes his marriage to Sorcha (his recurring love interest), while The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightdress deals with Ross's discovery that he has a son called Ronan. Should Have Got Off at Sydney Parade tells of the birth of his second child, Honor, and Ross's business investment in a night club called Lillie's Bordello. Ross's son brings in a raft of working-class characters who act as points of contrast to Dublin 4. The beginnings of the celebratory materialism of the Celtic Tiger are satirised.
