This is pure comedy genious that whisks you away from weapons; deserts, jungles and other such joys.
I read McCarthy's book in my dank cell in Daroca prison in Spain. It was a tonic, even though it is a travelogue. I don't go much on travelogues but this was hilarious, especially as I am familiar with Cork, Derry and the west coast up to Lough Derg.
Maybe I enjoyed his writing because he was from just up the road from me in Warrington, a northern sense of humour that I recognised between the lines.
Checkout his reviews on amazon.
Good reading, Chrischance.
