The word from Critical Mick’s dank lair is that there’s a review of
Andrew Nugent’s The Four Courts Murders on the way, and if you’re wondering why that’s such good news,
you obviously haven’t encountered
Mick’s inimitable style yet. Here’s the Mickster on
Hugo Hamilton’s Headbanger, for example:
“Hugo Hamilton has been praised and anthologized so I figured he was one of those pretentious literary shits. Suddenly I came face to balaclava’d, kebab-smeared face with one of his novels. Hey! Hugo Hamilton is a Headbanger! … A bit like Taxi Driver, except he’s driving a Garda patrol car … Bashing style into the crime thriller genre, Headbanger packs goofball rage, bizarre insight, attitude and kebab flavour into one fast, funny smack of a 230 page read. No superior literary airs, just damn fine writing.”
Oh, and there’s a .mp3 version of the review to go along with that. Mick? If you’re reading this, we’ll be over with our monthly protection moolah later tonight. Get the Snakebites on ice.
