PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Smug English comics beware. Hawks accepts a drunken bet that he could circumnavigate Ireland in one month with a refrigerator, an escapade inspired by his one and only previous visit to the country. Not surprisingly, the English author, musician and comic discovers that the Irish aren't as ridiculous as he had previously thought, but instead are a warm, generous people. He captures the spirit of the country in this deeply silly, entertaining book. The stunt inspired a media circus, including a daily radio broadcast. It was a mini-fridge.
