Cartoon City

For a classic urban sass novel, cult hit Cartoon City by Ferdia Mac Anna is hard to beat, with its wild cast of misfits, rebels and Dublin denizens. Anti-hero Myles seeks an out from his journo work. When he falls for the redoubtable Mia, however, he is, drawn into the heart of Dublin's underworld with some alarming, and hilarious, consequences. Ferdia Mac Anna's career has brought him from comic writing to memoir, literary fiction and film direction. It romps through a comic tale of crime, passion, and surreal, humor at breakneck pace. With an eye for characterization and a flair for Dublinese, it pogos along like Flann O'Brien with rock'n'roll.
