The Road to McCarthy by Pete Mccarthy

The Road to McCarthy by Pete Mccarthy

Pete McCarthy established one cardinal rule of travel in hisbestselling debut, McCarthy's Bar: "Never pass a bar withyour name on it." In this equally wry and insightful follow-up,his characteristic good humor, curiosity, and thirst for adventuretake him on a fantastic jaunt around the world in search of hisIrish roots -- from Morocco, where he tracks down the unlikelychief 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 asone of our funniest and most incisive writers.

Pete McCarthy was born in England to a mother who was Irish and a father who was English. In the United Kingdom, he wrote and performed in a number of travel series for radio and television. McCarthy's Bar, his debut book, was a hit in Ireland, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
