ΒEven though I wished it was me she was married to, I was still hoping Mo would be happy ever after with Dermo Olsen. That was until the violence started. I loved her that much. Can you believe that?" Welcome to an unnamed town in the southwest of Ireland, where Mo and G have what could loosely be described as a dysfunctional relationship. Between the sex (real and imagined), beatings (very real), and pining after Mo (very, very real), there's barely time for G to figure out how to escape his arch-enemies, the Olsens β or their bloodthirsty Dobermans β for good. G is plagued by nightmares, and sometimes tries to do the right thing. Very occasionally, he succeeds. In The Ballad of Mo & G, Billy Keane tackles lives lived on the edge with a sharp yet compassionate eye, and a biting black humour. An assured report from Ireland's dark, post-boom underbelly by a supremely talented storyteller.
