The Big Yaroo
McCabe, Pat, 1955-2019
Book
Francie Brady, the broken butcher boy, leads a busy life in Fizzbag Mansions, where he has been incarcerated since Mrs Nugent met her unfortunate end. Still obsessed with comic books and the fantasy world of his childhood, he has found a new métier as a publisher of his very own magazine called The Big Yaroo. As Francie throws himself into its production, he is revisited by characters from his past including Uncle Alo, Joe Purcell and, of course, his beloved mother. Caught between a desire to build his fledgling career, Francie is instead increasingly drawn into the dark underworld of his own mind.
