Steven Callaghan was born in Dublin in 1979. Originally serialised online, his debut is already receiving huge acclaim:
"Steven Callaghan is a super brand new voice in Irish writing. Made up of short scenes, with beautiful and sometimes poignant literary sentences, Callaghan's writing is a reward in itself."
