Roger Boylan (born 1951) is an American writer who was raised in Ireland, France, and Switzerland.
His second Irish novel, The Great Pint-Pulling Olympiad, is published by Grove Press; the Village Voice said it resembled the work of James Joyce "at his comically prolix best."
The third volume in the Killoyle trilogy, The Maladjusted Terrorist, was published in German in 2007, and the entire Killoyle trilogy was reissued as a boxed set that year by the Swiss publisher Kein und Aber.
The Irish novels were followed by a European one, The Adorations, which deals satirically with historical and religious themes, including Nazism, the Occupation of France, and mystical visions.
"The Adorations is Boylan's magnum opus," says one review, "moving like a fugue through the history of 20th-Century Europe.
