Viac o knihe
Worker at the back of a concrete mixer in the rain of a London suburb, Mick Siffoney might be a descendant of the kings of Ireland. He arrives, with his wife, child, and parrot, in his hometown of Deghooleen to reclaim his crown. As if Ireland didn't already have enough problems! Along the way, we encounter an exhibitionist Hungarian, two Hindus on a spree, a kidnapped two-colored horse, not to mention the usual cargo of drunks, perverts, and illiterate fools that make the charm of both Albion and the Emerald Isle. All this is interspersed with Siffoney's heroic dreams of glory, straight out of Monty Python's Holy Grail! A vast and devastating comic novel, delivered with a style of constant inventiveness that will elicit laughter from even the most serious readers.
