\n<p>In late 2008, as the world\u2019s economy crumbles and Barack Obama ascends to the White House, the remarkably unremarkable Milton Ontario \u2013 not to be confused with Milton, Ontario \u2013 leaves his parents\u2019 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 \u2013 Leonard Cohen. Hilariously ironic and irreverent, in Dirty Birds, Morgan Murray generates a quest novel for the twenty-first century\u2014a coming-of-age, rom-com, crime-farce thriller\u2014where a hero\u2019s greatest foe is his own crippling mediocrity as he seeks purpose in art, money, power, crime, and sleeping in all day.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
