Life is sweet for would-be bohemian Artie Conville. Safe at the
helm of his subsidised magazine - with a cosy office paid for by
the tax-payer - he's content to drift along quoting poetry,
lingering over long lunches and flirting with the lovely Rosie
McCann. The main thing is to keep the real world - of nine-to-five
jobs, mortgages and political violence - at bay. So when his cushy
number is threatened, Artie hatches a cunning plan to keep the
funds coming in. But events quickly spiral out of control and
before long he is up to his ears in a bizarre fraud. Can he avert
disaster? Will he get the girl? With a cast of characters that
includes a gun-toting playwright, a jealous police chief, a drunken
actor and a giant white rabbit, this is a rich and riotous tale
about coming-of-age in 1980s Belfast; a novel that is by turns
darkly ironic and laugh-out-loud funny.
