The series is set within a fictionalized version of contemporary Irish society, focusing on the life and worldview of the central figure. The character originated in a 1998 column in the Sunday Tribune, later moving to The Irish Times. The series is part of a broader media presence that includes plays, a CD, additional books, and a weekly podcast. The first novel in the series, 'PS, I scored the bridesmaids', was published in 2004.
