‘An extraordinararily good writer ... Seldom have I read a debut in which the author’s control of tone, dialogue and narrative contour is so masterful’ Michel Faber, Guardian
‘A truly superb book’ Dermot Bolger, Sunday Independent
‘Shows a lively talent at play’ Daily Telegraph
‘Brilliantly original ... The most impressive debut by an Irish writer for some time’ Irish Independent
‘Impressive. Ó Ceallaigh has produced a remarkably assured and truly European collection of stories’ Sunday Tribune
‘Extraordinarily confident for a first collection of stories ... remarkable for its sheer readability’ Ireland on Sunday
‘So assured is this debut collection that it can, convincingly and with confidence, echo Hemingway and Bukowski in terms of style and Kafka or Kelman, even some of the great Russians, in relation to theme. These amazingly well-crafted stories – intense, curious, mysterious, alluring – re-awaken the wonder of words and declare the availability of salvation in writing.’ Niall Griffiths
‘With this debut collection Philip O’Ceallaigh gives us not just a new voice, but a whole new literary space. It lies somewhere between Ireland and Eastern Europe, a place where characters live out his harsh and careful fables about men's failure to love women. This work was, at a guess, slow in the making – do not read it too fast.’ Anne Enright
