Dalkey Archive Press Eilis From the Flats
Éilis from the Flats is a hard-nosed but tender chronicle of flawed characters, bad choices, and contemporary Dublin life. This Irish novel of scandal and substance abuse follows the exploits of Tommy Baker, a veteran journalist; James Tierney, a researcher at Empire Television; Jimmy Heffernan, a reformed north-side Dublin gangster and local hero, and Éilis Devanney, who lives in the Star of the Sea flats, in Jimmy’s neighborhood. When Éilis writes a document for Tommy and James, revealing that Jimmy is in no way reformed, there is no going back. The truth will out.

Dalkey Archive Press Johanne, Johanne . . .
Johanne, Johanne . . . is an SMS-novel about a young woman’s flight from the often mundane reality of everyday existence and her knife-edge attempt at forging an identity for herself in a lifestyle-obsessed big city environment, where unlimited options seem available at every turn: freedom, career, excitement, sex, love, security, husband and babies, “whatever.” A cleverly constructed, multi-layered story that initially reads as a sexting novel but soon confronts every reader with a range of much deeper questions. A smartphone mirror into the way we live right now, where Fifty Shades of Grey is shocked to meet Flaubert and Ki- erkegaard in digital space.
