   A new book, just released, boasts..   
      
   “Canadians rejoice! Our Vonnegut has finally arrived! Morgan Murray’s debut is   
   a great, brawling, sprawling, muscular glory of a story. Funny, dark, and   
   wholly original.” -- Will Ferguson, winner of the Scotiabank Giller Prize   
      
   A brief synopsis:   
      
   In late 2008, as the world’s economy crumbles and Barack Obama ascends to the   
   White House, the remarkably unremarkable Milton Ontario – not to be confused   
   with Milton, Ontario – leaves his parents’ basement in Middle-of-Nowhere,   
   Saskatchewan, and sets forth to find fame, fortune, and love in the Euro-lite   
   electric sexuality of Montreal; to bask in the endless twenty-something   
   Millennial adolescence of the Plateau; to escape the infinite flatness of   
   Saskatchewan and find his messiah – Leonard Cohen. Hilariously ironic and   
   irreverent, in Dirty Birds, Morgan Murray generates a quest novel for the   
   twenty-first century—a coming-of-age, rom-com, crime-farce thriller—where a   
   hero’s greatest foe is his own crippling mediocrity as he seeks purpose in art,   
   money, power, crime, and sleeping in all day.
