Despite having lived in New York for 15 years, Carey once again sets his latest book, at least in part, in Australia, but we're also taken on a wild ride through Japan and New York in a novel that has received exceptional reviews from all prepublication review sources (including three starred reviews), and has been variously described as «a masterpiece», «a certifiable hoot», «edgy, irreverent, often
hilariously profane», «sharply observed, well written, and acerbically witty».
