Cowboys and Indians by Joseph O'connor
All alone, with only his electric guitar and his overactive ego for company, Eddie Virago, proud owner of the last mohican haircut in Dublin, leaves his home town to find fame in the wild world of the London rock scene.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 *
