   > A new book, just released, boasts..   
   >ôCanadians rejoice! Our Vonnegut has finally arrived! Morgan MurrayÆs debut is   
   > a great, brawling, sprawling, muscular glory of a story. Funny, dark, and   
   > wholly original.ö -- Will Ferguson, winner of the Scotiabank Giller Prize   
   > A brief synopsis:   
   > In late 2008, as the worldÆs economy crumbles and Barack Obama ascends to the   
   > White House, the remarkably unremarkable Milton Ontario û not to be confused   
   > with Milton, Ontario û leaves his parentsÆ 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 û Leonard Cohen. Hilariously ironic and   
   > irreverent, in Dirty Birds, Morgan Murray generates a quest novel for the   
   > twenty-first centuryùa coming-of-age, rom-com, crime-farce thrillerùwhere a   
   > heroÆs greatest foe is his own crippling mediocrity as he seeks purpose in   
   > art,   
   > money, power, crime, and sleeping in all day.   
      
   Is this Goodread's blurb, or the book jacket's?   
      
   I'm gettinhg this book, it sounds like the kiind of irreverent comedy I love    
   most in a novel!   
      
   & I should, I think, read more Canadian-produced content, seeking the gems we    
   produce more often than even we know. . .
