On the table in Hodges Figgis
The definitive Irish Examiner review of Greetings, Hero.
It’s the only review I’ve gone back to read several times.
An earlier version of this review appeared on Dec 8th 2014. For reasons unknown, The Examiner decided to run it again, and the reviewer apparently revised it.
I like this new sentence in it:
The characters here are linked by their incredulity towards official narratives; belief in any “central source of validation” is forever beyond their reach.
Big stack of signed copies are on the tables in Hodges Figgis.
