John Joyce, a multi-hyphenate artist whose work transcends genres and shatters forms, brings us the tale of The Last Gyppo King.

With an innovative hybrid text-part novel, part lyric poem, part stage play-the words literally unfold, cascading down the pages, spiraling like DNA:

1989. Johnny Boy was an upper middle class Boston Irish kid. Then one day-out of nowhere-the FBI came and took his whole world away.

Johnny's Irish immigrant father was a drug dealer.

Johnny's Irish immigrant father was also a Traveller.

A chancer.
A scammer.
>Before Johnny knew what hit him, he was hiding out with his mother in an Irish Traveller camp.
>But...

Johnny Boy fell in love with a beautiful Traveller girl.

Joe didn't like that. He didn't like it one bit. He decided he'd be keeping Loa for himself.

Which lit the fuse ...

The Last Gyppo King is a tale of love, lust, loss, of stolen youth and revenge, set in the raw, almost primal world of hard-nosed, bare-knuckle-fighting Irish Travellers.

A world with its own code.
A world with its own justice.
