BALLYMACRUFF

A badbowwow Sicilian-Irish story of Burocrazia Terribilis (BT) and Atrociobus Globalitiation (AG)

PROLOGUE

Irish friends, you who approach me,

free yourself from every passionanza

And, reading, don’t be scandalalized:

There is no illness or infection here.

It is true that there is little perfectamentia 

You will learn, just for laughs:

It is better to write of laughta than of tears,

That smiling is, above all, a happy thing for the humananza 

Pantagruelically inspired by François Rabelais

Date of release: early 2025

2020: I have been to Ireland on behalf of Italian Public Network (radio project), Splendid Sicily (tv documentary) and me myself as a writer (book).

I have been there together with my wife, and Pedro, our doggy.

At a certain point Pedro received a call from Sicily and was encharged, by Don Ciro Cannolo (the mafia Dogfather!) to search for the dart green bone!

And our life changed!

Inspector Pedro at the Bantry house

Inspector Pedro travels from Sicily to West Cork searching for the prized green bone.

It’s the only one missing in the Dogfather Don Ciro’s (photo) collection.

Inspector Pedro is on a relentless search all around West Cork through castles, forests, rivers, towns, beaches, markets and lighthouses.

And every once in a he stops for a nice cafe’ or lunch to refuel him on his quest for the list green bone.

With the help of his distant cousin Mollie the Sprollie from Cape Clear, Jack and Biddie, two swans from Glen and humans like Siobhan Cronin of the Southern Star, David the man of the forest, Willie the smoking neighbor of Pedro… and Tom Tommyfly Pedro’s inseparable doggie drone.

While Inspector Pedro is searching high and low in the greenery of West cork for the damn green bone, back home his mamma is mixing a brew of strange stones with odd people inside them.

Lady Bea, Pedro’s assistant gives him the inside scoop about where to find all the good people inside the forest.

In a surprise twist, Pedro will find the green bone …
