The Monkey Man

A hilarious and controversial satire on the Irish media, Stephen Price’s outrageous Monkey Man was celebrated upon its initial release as 'an eminently readable romp that cuts to the heart of the cynicism characterising the media world' (Ireland on Sunday)

Other praise for Monkey Man:

'The tale of a would-be lord of the media jungle with a habit of going ape after dark, Monkey Man is a howl'  The Sunday Times

'Stephen Price's Monkey Man is a terrifically funny, no-holds barred swipe at the … media's petty pretensions and craven obeisance to the powerful. Price is a natural satirist, not afraid to be as savage as the subject requires. [And] best of all is the Monkey Man himself, a monstrous, amoral, ego-maniacal bully who bestrides the novel with a sort of terrible, horrible glamour. In Kevin Carver, Price has created one of the most memorably loathsome characters in recent Irish fiction' The Irish Times

'Stephen Price’s Monkey Man is a riot, an utterly incredible account of the relationship between an obnoxious television host and idealistic-turned-hedonist producer…the scenes and character portraits are uncannily accurate'  The Last Word

'There are two reasons for thanking Stephen Price. He gets dug into the Dublin media with a viciousness rarely seen in Irish fiction. And he does it with great style'  Roddy Doyle

'A slick, clever novel that makes you laugh out loud. Full of sharp observations, smart dialogue and brilliant characters, there should be a copy for everyone in the audience' Colm Tóibín
