  An adventurous Englishman explores the forgotten landscape of America’s Wild West in this “illuminating, elegantly written travelogue” (Financial Times).   In his acclaimed memoir Swan River, David Reynolds invited readers into the world of his youth, growing up in Manitoba, Canada. Now, in Slow Road to Brownsville, Reynolds brings readers on a road trip along Highway 83, a little-known two-lane highway that runs from his Canadian hometown to the Mexican border at Brownsville, Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico.   Enthralled by the myth of the American West and the romance of the open road, Reynolds explores the realities behind both as he makes his way between small towns, gas stations, and motels, hanging out in bars with the locals and learning the stories of this forgotten region that was once the frontier. Along the way he encounters many legendary figures from North American history, including Lewis and Clark, Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill, Davy Crockett, and even Truman Capote.

  The good, the bad and the cynical – how to get ahead in Irish politics
  
  It might appear strange that a 16th-century Italian political philosopher should provide us with a roadmap to political power in Ireland, but as John Drennan's tongue-in-cheek account Paddy Machiavelli makes clear, the gap between the parish pump and the Renaissance palazzo is a narrow one indeed. In fact, observe the Irish body politic for long enough and the lines between the Florentine's faceless hero and our own Dáil aristocrats begin to blur ever so slightly.
  
  A veteran of countless Leinster House power plays, Drennan takes inspiration from Machiavelli's The Prince, dispensing invaluable advice for the aspiring politician, such as how to cultivate the cloak of being an 'ordinary decent skin', how to choose your scapegoats carefully, and how to be a straight-talker whilst embracing vagueness.
  
  This hilarious account of the compromises that the Irish politician has to make in order to seize power is not just a 'celebration' of the politics of cynical amorality; it's a timely reminder of the role we play in choosing our leaders.
  
  In this wildly entertaining book, celebrated Sunday Independent columnist John Drennan is at his best.  The definitive guide to success in Irish politics, Paddy Machiavelli will have you laughing and crying all the way to the ballot box.
  
  'Drennan's storytelling style is stage Irish, and like a culchie Cicero, he laces his brilliance with bile. It is the politics of Paddy and in the tradition of Hall's Pictorial Weekly via Craggy Island.'
  Gerard Howlin, The Sunday Times
  
  'There is a fierce intelligence and fierce independence at work here. No one escapes his gimlet eye, and he brings to the whole bizarre ecosystem of the Dáil a unique perspective, that of the insider who remains resolutely outside.'
  Brendan O'Connor, The Sunday Independent
  
  'If Paddy really wants to know the story, generally he asks Drennan first.'
  Lise Hand, Irish Independent
  
  'Drennan is one of the best pundits in Ireland. He has an understanding of politics that is both instinctive and intellectual.'
  Pat Leahy, The Sunday Business Post
  
  '[Drennan] reads the political game like the sort of bookie who always leaves Cheltenham with a full satchel.'
  Ivan Yates, Newstalk
