Review
Larry Kirwan writes with all the charm of his music. This is Angela s Ashes for a new generation. --Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler s List
A tremendous rock n roll saga ... The prolific Kirwan offers writing about the transformative and curative powers of music and performance that is brilliant on its own, but his lovingly rendered portrait of American and Irish social and political realties in the 1980s is both brutal and magical. --Library Journal
A brilliant mash up of a novel that is part coming of age tale, part portrait of the artist as a young man, and part immigrant saga... This novel serves as an elegy for a lost time and place the vibrant and chaotic New York City that thrived in the shadows of the Age of Reagan. It is the kind of book that will stay with you long after you put it down. --Thomas Kelly, author of Empire Rising
