Imagine the bastard child of David Sedaris and Irvine Welsh. Here is the truly hilarious memoir of a young Irish punk on the loose in 1970s London. It'll make you laugh. It'll make you cry. And you'll be quoting it to your friends for years.
Barry McKinley's stories were twice shortlisted for the Hennessy Literary Award. He was nominated in 2010 for Best New Play, Irish Theatre Awards (for Elysium Nevada). He has written plays for BBC Radio 4 and RTE, and was a prize winner in the O.Z Whitehead/Society of Irish Playwrights award. His work has been staged at Edinburgh Fringe, Dublin Fringe and Main festivals, RSC Fringe, and many more. The Irish Times called his play Elysium Nevada "Beckett meets Shepard", which meant nobody came to see it.
