The Glass Kingdom

By Chris Flynn

'The Glass Kingdom is definitely one of those "came for the cover art, stayed for the story" type of books (seriously, I would like this cover in poster-size, please and thank you). A military veteran turned carny hangs with his aspiring hip-hop artist partner selling drugs in stuffed koalas. Black humor abounds, but important topics like post-war care for veterans and the role of medication in treating mental illness aren't side-stepped. Did I mention that cover art?'--Bookriot

Praise for Chris Flynn's A Tiger in Eden:

"Brutal, hilarious, and wholly surprising."--Daily Telegraph

"A joy to read."--Adam Levin

Carnival life and drug deals, rural Australia and a wannabe hip-hop star looking for trouble combine in this unforgettable novel. Small towns, big fights, meth labs. Chris Flynn's second novel is a surprising, funny, tragic story of finding your way in an unforgiving world.

Chris Flynn was born in Belfast. His debut, A Tiger in Eden (2012), was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize.
