Joseph O’Connor’s first novel is a sharply focused and realistic story about a thoroughly unlikable Irish guitar-hero who nevertheless manages to capture the reader’s sympathy amidst a bewildering array of London acid house ravers and saloon-bar revolutionaries.

Review:

"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 *
