The Road to McCarthy: Around the World in Search of Ireland

Pete McCarthy established one cardinal rule of travel in his bestselling debut, McCarthy’s Bar: “Never pass a bar with your name on it.” In this equally wry and insightful follow-up,his characteristic good humor, curiosity, and thirst for adventure take him on a fantastic jaunt around the world in search of his Irish roots — from Morocco, where he tracks down the unlikely chief of the McCarthy clan, to New York, and finally to remote Mc-Carthy, Alaska. The Road to McCarthy is a quixotic and anything-but-typical Irish odyssey that confirms Pete McCarthy’s status as one of our funniest and most incisive writers.
