In Patrick McCabe's fabulous wind-up toy of a book meet Pat McNab, forty-five years old, possibly a serial killer - often to be found endlessly puffing smokes and propping up the counter of Sullivan's Select Bar or sitting on his mother's knee, both of them singing away together like some ridiculous two-headed human juke box.
But that was all before the story really begins. Emerald Germs of Ireland is, in essence, Pat McNab's post-matricide year.
'This is a mesmerizing, disturbing and sometimes wildly funny book.' - Carolyn Hart, Marie Claire, Book of the Month.
'Emerald Germs of Ireland, with its larger-than-life characters and its stylized dialogue, can be read as a dark fairy tale for adults - with its energy and bustle, it might even work better on the stage. But a book it is, and it's likely to be the funniest and most inventive you'll read all year.' - James Harkin, Independent on Sunday.
