Description
Taut, humane and unflinching stories that explore Dublin's underbelly, from a remarkable new writing talent.
We Used to Dance Here is a portrait of both Dublin and Dubliners in flux, exploring life on the margins, toxic masculinity and frustrated ambitions. With dog tracks, late-night radio talk shows, pubs, messy break-ups, industrial accidents and the reality of housing precarity, these stories show a darker, edgier side to Dublin and they do so in brilliant, crackling prose.
Advance Praise
‘Sharp, funny and vivid, these stories are brilliantly attuned to the messiness of life. Dave Tynan's writing is electric in its energy and verve’ Wendy Erskine
‘The stories in We Used to Dance Here are gritty and soulful, spiky and incisive. They are big hearted but take no prisoners. A memorable debut collection that will stay with you’ Colin Barrett
