Born in Athlone, Declan Lynch writes a column with the ‘Sunday Independent’. Lynch has written two non-fiction books, They Are Of Ireland, and Ireland On Three Million Pounds A Day. In 1997, he wrote a play, Massive Damage, starring Tom Hickey and Arthur Riordan, and produced by the Passion Machine for the Dublin Theatre Festival.

Philip Ó Ceallaigh, a native of County Waterford, has lived and worked in Britain, Spain, Russia, the US, Kosovo and Georgia. He currently lives in Bucharest. Notes from a Turkish Whorehouse is his first book. The stories create a world that is utterly original and yet immediately recognizable - a world of ordinary people grappling with work and idleness, ambition and frustration, wildness and sobriety, love and lust and decay. Brutally honest, screamingly funny and beautifully crafted. |
