'A strange, original and unusual novel, which takes two unlikely worlds and yokes them together. Remarkable ... I've never read anything quite like it' Carlo Gebler
Dolly Considine runs a late-night drinking establishment catering to the needs of thirsty politicians and theatricals in Dublin's legendary drinking area, the Catacombs.
Julian Ryder (aka Paddy Butler) is an eighteen-year-old aspiring writer in need of shelter from his bullying older brother.
As the new live-in lounge assistant at Dolly Considine's Hotel, Julian soon embroils himself in the shebeen's gossip - and the guests' bedsheets - and turns Dolly's entourage into fodder for his literary ambitions. Reality quickly becomes difficult to separate from fantasy...
Set against the run-up to the Pro-life Constitutional Amendment of September 1983 and moving fluidly between the 1950s of Dolly's youth and Julian's Summer of Unrequited Love, the hotel becomes a stage for farce and tragedy. Between Julian's fictions, Dolly's Secrets, and narrow party politics - and featuring a papier-mâché figure of Mother Ireland giving birth and clashing sword-wielding dancers - this rich cocktail threatens to blow them, and even Ireland itself, wide apart.
His lifelong interest in storytelling began at the Dublin Literary Study Society and the People's College in 1970s Dublin. On moving to London, he attended Goldsmiths and Birkbeck College; revisiting Dublin for summer schools at the Irish Writers' Centre.
Eamon worked in London's social housing development sector for many years. The father of three adult children, he and Tomás (civil partner) divide their time between Dublin & London. They are immensely proud of, and intrigued by, their two delightful grandchildren.
