An eclectic collection of stories and a myriad of characters awaits. Egan writes with tremendous conviction with an astounding grasp of pop culture and intertextuality. There is no morose melancholy but hard-hitting journalism in the manner of the great American storytellers like Kerouac and Burroughs. There is a range of characters, each with their own stories and what is unearthed is a great plethora of a cast. With the tenacity of teenage rebellion not since the days of Irvine Welsh at his peak, Egan confronts the challenging subject matter of the rock and roll lifestyle with a fresh approach, devoid of the boring.
