Her work is compared to Roddy Doyle, but Richard Linklater's influence is evident in the narrative approach focusing on multiple protagonists and the passage of time. Birdy's depiction of young manhood through idiolects is universally relatable.
Birdy's writing brilliantly renders the way young men talk to each other, offering a candid, clear, and humorous portrayal of their interpretations of the world. 'Ravelling' presents a compelling social world with deep empathy for its characters' struggles and past influences.
