These stories bring to life a strange Dublin, full of pathos and wry humour. They uncover the workings of a variety of relationships between people, place and time as the characters negotiate their way through love, lust, anger, religious obsession, language and absence.

Review:
'These flawlessly structured yarns are told in lovingly crafted prose.' The Times; 'His sentences are blessed with an energetic imperative. His pacing is faultless, as is his choreography of violence.' Times Literary Supplement; 'The Irishman's stories are artful indeed - with a rolling, gathering cadence that is mesmerising.' The Economist
From the Publisher:
Advance Praise for Standard Time
"These stories are full of old-fashioned satisfactions; gripping and beautifully written. Ridgway doesn't so much redraw the map as show us what was there in the first place. He writes as though he has uncovered something, not invented it; as though these tales, so completely new, have been around for a long time." Anne Enright

"It is refreshing to read work of a quiet, contemporary tone, but which prods at depths beyond the comfort zone." Frank Ronan
