This book starts its journey with BookCrossing from Delphi, Greece
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" 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... "

I think this book opens a window in a specific time and era, but there isn't much of a plot and all the characters are obnoxious and/or act completely weirdly.

I wish I could say this is some kind of coming of age story, but the main character doesn't really grow up by the end of the book to be honest, while most things in this book didn't make much sense to me, so I got a bit tired reading it after a while.

I guess if you didn't move on certain circles in Dublin and London back on the early '90s and/or you aren't much interested on airhead, pretentious people doing drugs and drinking their selves silly while trying to enter the music scene or become "someone" and/or on people lying all the time and been drama queens, I think "Cowboys and Indians" hasn't age that well.

Noteworthy that Joseph O'Connor is now married to a TV and film writer and he is kind of involved in some Radio and TV projects and that he is brother of singer Sinéad O'Connor, so he might offer a quite realistic portrait of all the above stuff here. But still... This felt an alien read to me.
Interesting to note too that this is the same author that later wrote much more "literary"novels, some of which I've enjoyed very much and which have a completely different feeling and feature a more beautiful, mature, ornate language.

Not necessarily a bad book, just irrelevant to me.

Released on the junction of Themistokleous and Solonos streets in Exarhia area of Athens.

Good Luck little book and Don't forget to write your news from time to time!
