As Chris McCool looks back on the glory days of his youth, the swinging sixties of rural Ireland, he can honestly say he had it all. He had the moves, he had the car, and he had Dolly, a woman who called him 'Mr Wonderful'. But there was another Mr Wonderful in town, a young Nigerian named Marcus whose dazzling devoutness was all but irresistible. Of course Chris was interested in Marcus only because of their mutual appreciation of the finer things. That was all. But Chris was always a hopeless romantic - perhaps even occasionally obsessive.
Spiked with macabre humour and disquieting revelations, The Holy City is brilliant, disturbing and compelling.
