About the Author

Peadar O'Guilin is a powerful and original new voice in fiction, but has been writing curious stories for as long as he can remember. He attended the same boarding school as James Joyce in Co. Kildare and since then, he has written plays, published short stories, and performed as a stand-up comedian.
Language, landscape and the history of ancient Ireland are important themes for Peadar, and after brief forays living in Milan and Venice he returned to his native Ireland and now lives just outside Dublin.
