TRAVELLER WEDDING is the debut novel from award-winning Irish film director Graham Jones.
The story is narrated by a nomadic woman called Christine who is furious at the release of a violent videogame about a traveller wedding for the Christmas market.
"Have a fight with your cousin and get 500 points," says Jones of the fictitious game. "Smash a window in the pub, get 1000 points. It's the old cliché about travellers in the form of a violent videogame but it's good because it provokes Christine into telling the story of her people more authentically..."
In the past, Jones was criticised for falsely translating Japanese interviewees in FUDGE 44 and encouraging Irish school students to steal exam papers in HOW TO CHEAT IN THE LEAVING CERTIFICATE.
