Cowboys and Indians
Despre această carte electronică
Eddie Virago, proud owner of the last mohican haircut in Dublin, leaves his home town to find the fame and fortune he's convinced awaits in the wild world of the London rock scene.
Things don't quite go as planned, however. He finds himself living in a ramshackle hotel with a girl he met on the ferry over, while a bewildering array of acid-house ravers, saloon-bar revolutionaries, music-business wideboys and media primadonnas all seem very anxious to help Eddie on his way...
'Very funny... An immensely readable and entertaining book, full of truth about the world we live in' Sunday Independent
'Clever, wry and often hilarious...with sardonic, very knowing digs at youthful pretension' Time Out
