Synopsis:
The author of "Desperadoes" and "Cowboys and Indians" directs his acid humour upon contemporary Irish life at home and abroad. The result is a headlong, love-struck, end-of-millenium, coast-to-coast tour of the frustrations, contraditions and giddying glories of being Irish in the 1990s. Dissecting the cultural icons of our time, from the Taoiseach to the taxi driver, from the kiwi-fruit-flavoured condom to the Kilfenora ceilidh band, and discoursing on everyone from James Joyce to Jesus Christ, from Rolf Harris to Daniel O'Donnell, O'Connor picks his way between sinking pints in London-Irish pubs to pumping iron in Dublin gymnasia. Fear and loathing, pity and terror, country and western, love, rock and rock, and football are all encompassed by these snapshots of modern Irish life.

IRELAND EXCHANGE!
Travelling to my secret pal...

Thank you! I'm looking forward to reading this, sounds very interesting, may be a while until I can get to this as my TBR pile is massive as usual.

Got to it at last!
As the daughter of an "Irish Male" I found this very interesting if a little slow in places but LOL in others.

This is now on its way to Lamilla as part of the Wishlist Tag Game, hope you enjoy it :-)
