|summary=''Kerrigan in Copenhagen'' is crammed with information. But the deluge of trivia has a detrimental effect on both the plot and the characterisation, which is a shame, as there are flashes of absolute brilliance.

Terrence Einhorn Kerrigan is an Irish-Danish American living in Copenhagen. He is 'a full-time writer and translator', who 'thinks of himself as a failed poet, which is a less complicated concept than a failed human being'. His newest writing assignment, however, is to 'select a sampling of one hundred of the best, the most historic, the most congenial of Copenhagen's 1,525 serving houses and write them up for one of a one-hundred-volume travel guide: ''The Great Bars of the Western World'''. Kerrigan, though, 'does not wish the book to be written. He wants only to research it. Forever' - and preferably in the company of his green-eyed Associate, Annelise.
