Dirty Birds

Dirty Birds is a novel by by Morgan Murray.

Morgan Murray

In late 2008, as the world's economy crumbles and Barack Obama ascends to the White House, the remarkably unremarkable Milton Ontario not to be confused with Milton, Ontario leaves his parents' basement in middle-of-nowhere, Saskatchewan, and sets forth to find fame, fortuneand love in the Euro-lite electric sexuality of Montreal; to bask in the endless 20-something millennial adolescence of the Plateau; to escape the infinite flatness of Saskatchewan and find his messiah Leonard Cohen.

Hilariously ironic and irreverent, in Dirty Birds, Morgan Murray generates a quest novel for the 21st century a coming-of-age, rom-com, crime-farce thriller where a hero's greatest foe is his own crippling mediocrity as he seeks purpose in art, money, power, crimeand sleeping in all day.
