by JosephO'Connor (Author)

Synopsis

Things don't quite go as planned, however, and he finds himself living in a ramshackle hotel with a neurotic girl he met on the ferry over while a bewildering array of acid-house ravers, saloon-bar revolutionaries, music biz wideboys and media primadonnas all seem oh-so-anxious to help Eddie on his way...

Media Reviews
Caustic and entertaining * Sunday Times *
Sharply observed and always entertaining * Independent *
This is an impressive debut: a good story, well told, great characters, with sardonic, knowing digs at the youthful pretention...clever, wry and often hilarious * Time Out *
Well-written, tremendously confident * Irish Independent *
Characters that leap out at you like figures in a pop-up book. Joseph O'Connor's first novel suggests he is bound for fame * Observer *
