	Its a compendium of short pieces, most (all?) of them published elsewhere already, such as his column in the Sunday Tribune. In particular, it has the full set of articles that made up the 'World Cup Diary' in the Trib. These are hysterically funny, and focus on the experience of being a fan at the mercy of incompetent travel agencies, and bored to death in Orlando, rather than on the soccer. There are also pieces on being Irish in London, youthful student rebellion, and Irish fathers and sons etc. My personal opinion is that he's a lot better at this type of reportage stuff than he is as a novelist. As you'd expect, there's almost no mention of Sinead. Grainne Ni Choiligh
