After the success of McCarthy's Bar, in which he described his
travels around Ireland searching for pubs with his name, Pete
McCarthy widened the scope of his researches in a hunt for the
origins of the McCarthy clan. Here he recounts his travels from
Ireland via Morocco and the Caribbean to the tiny Alaskan
settlement of McCarthy itself, with plenty of humorous sketches of
the people and places he meets on the way. McCarthy has an eye for
detail and a Bryson-like appreciation of the absurd, and his quest
makes a neat framework for his amiable wanderings across the globe.
Great fun. (Kirkus UK)
Setting off from Ireland, Pete McCarthy takes us on a wonderful
journey around the weird and wonderful Irish communities of the
world. In his own inimitable style, Pete recounts his adventures
and escapades as, in Morocco he meets the head of Clan McCarthy,
and then goes on to visit the renowned Irish peoples of New York.
He journeys to the southern hemisphere and then back again to the
United States before ending up in a small town called McCarthy in
Alaska. Will he encounter enough McCarthy's Bars, as he continues
to obey the eighth rule of travel: 'never pass a pub with your name
on it'? This is a funny, affectionate look at the Irish communties
of the world.
