Every One Still Here by Liadan Ní Chuinn

Every One Still Here by Liadan Ní Chuinn

From a stunning new voice in Irish literature, a searing and powerful debut collection of singularly brilliant and distinctive stories.

This is a brilliant and remarkable book.. Immediately asks to be considered among the island's signal 21st-century literary achievements... These stories open out and close again in strange folds and planes. They operate like some theoretical shape in geometry that has more surfaces than are physically possible - they are Escher houses, Klein bottles. Or human minds... In this extraordinary capacity to embody process - in this context, another word for human consciousness - lies the essence of this superb book's quietly radical realism -- Kevin Power * Irish Times *
Here's a writer who knows how to swerve gracefully from the expected. Her work is instinctive, intriguing and truly exciting. I cannot wait to see what's in store for her -- Lisa McInerney
It's a long time since I've read a short story collection where I've felt such an aching tenderness for the people within its pages... These stories are rich. They have heart and weight. This is singular, controlled, dextrous writing from someone who is now one of my favourite writers -- Wendy Erskine
A phenomenal collection - these stories have a poise, a precision, an anger, a melancholy, a way of skewering things, that is entirely Ní Chuinn's own. A formidable debut by an astonishing new voice -- Lucy Caldwell
These are exceptional stories, stark yet richly textured and told in a voice that is at once plain-spoken and lyrical. Liadan Ní Chuinn is the real deal -- Louise Kennedy
An extraordinary book by an extraordinary author who refuses to look the other way. Ní Chuinn's incantatory sentences quiver like seismographs, registering the quakes and ruptures that can crack a life in two -- Thomas Morris
Liadan Ní Chuinn is a phenomenal writer, with such a striking, distinctive style. Surreal and yet vivid, wondrous and stark... It's like nothing else. Something new and startling is happening in this work. Fiction is being rejuvenated again. Anything seems possible -- Danny Denton
These are exceptional stories - and necessary reading, rendering lives, connections, violence, and trauma in ways that are utterly transformative -- Neil Hegarty
This book creates an integrated kaleidoscope - a contradiction of course - which each of these stories manages adroitly. The local dialect of History comes teeming slowly in, shocking us with its immutable presence. And here's a really important thing, I wanted to keep reading -- Evelyn Conlon
An exciting new voice on the literary scene... These are tales of intergenerational trauma, dislocation and isolation. Ní Chuinn's characters are varied, de-stabilised by events beyond their control, but still here, fully alive on the page... Outstanding... This is a stunning debut * Irish Independent *
