Review:
"First, the good news: Eddie Virago is back. The hero of Joseph O'Connor's widely acclaimed novel Cowboys and Indians features in the first of the thirteen stories that make up True Believers, and he makes a tasty entree. Now for the great new: there's plenty more where Eddie came from" (The Times)
"O'Connor's writing reads as though it was done with pleasure...convincing and poignant" (Independent)
"O'Connor's sad, funny prose shivers in the cold dawn of real life and takes a few well-aimed potshots at the folly of youth" (Glasgow Herald)
"A writer who admirably reveals the power of the short story to speak for our time" (Guardian)
"A significant writer of a very contemporary kind" (Irish Times)
