Review Quotes
Early Praise for Every One Still Here
'
"This is a brilliant and remarkable book, a collection of six short stories by a debut writer that immediately asks to be considered among this 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 . . . Superb."
--Kevin Power, The Irish Times
--Laura Hackett, The Sunday Times "Ní Chuinn's writing is often terse, blunt, its subject matter better served by urgency than elegance . . . A writer of subtlety . . . Ní Chuinn's stories are unpredictable and memorable . . . They describe entanglements that cannot be ignored or consigned to history. Extraordinary."
--Chris Power, The Guardian "Reading Ní Chuinn's work, one thing quickly becomes clear: this is a phenomenal debut... Ní Chuinn's prose is austere and precise . . . This is heart-stopping writing."
--Sophie Dickinson, The Observer
