Reviews

Remarkable … these 12 haunting, curious tales have settings as diverse as coastal Ireland, post-Wall Berlin and Abu Dhabi.
*ExBerliner*

Adrian Duncan’s new collection consolidates his reputation as one of the most captivating and distinctive voices in contemporary Irish writing.
*Irish Times*

The overarching connection between these austerely executed but richly imagined narratives has to do with the before and after of aspiration and disappointment, hope versus despair.
*Totally Dublin*

Recalling James Joyce’s Dubliners, and the punctuation of tough, ordinary, quotidian lives with occasional bursts of illumination and epiphany, Midfield Dynamo is beautiful in its sparse, humorous prose, born of a gruff, masculine tradition of Irish literature.
*Extra.ie*

Exhilarating … These stories seek and discover scenes of beauty – in the process permitting notes of lyricism to earn their place – in overlooked and distinctly unglamorous contexts, to deeply moving effect … in Midfield Dynamo, as in Duncan’s novels, the structures of life must not only be built but endlessly renewed and maintained – and this process, this world of construction, is the point of it all, and the reward.
*Dublin Review of Books*
