by Dave Tynan

Granta Books · 2026 · 240 pages

This collection captures the restless spirit of Dublin between 2016 and 2020 through a series of interconnected vignettes. Tynan explores the lives of those on the fringes, grappling with stifled dreams and the weight of societal expectations. Readers will find themselves drawn into the gritty realities of dog tracks, dimly lit pubs, and unfinished neighborhoods, all rendered in sharp, evocative prose that reveals the city's more shadowed corners.
