About this title

About the Author:

Danielle McLaughlin's stories have appeared in publications including the New Yorker, the Stinging Fly and the Irish Times, as well as various anthologies. She has won the Willesden Short Story Prize, the Merriman Short Story Competition in memory of Maeve Binchy and the Dromineer Literary Festival short story competition. Dinosaurs on Other Planets is her first collection.

Review:

A quietly explosive collection -- Patricia Nicol * Sunday Times * [McLaughlin] writes with a meditative intensity which gives her subject matter (domestic friction and failing affections) a certain gravitas * The Spectator * Her near-faultless debut collection . . . deals primarily with psychological alienation, and the desolate upheaval of humans in crisis * Guardian * McLaughlin is yet another fantastic new addition to Ireland's burgeoning literary establishment * Big Issue * An exquisite collection from an exciting new voice in short fiction * Lady * McLaughlin has a flair for making her stories crystallise around a striking image * Sunday Times * Fans of short story books will definitely relish this one * Bookbag * Taut with words unsaid and fights unhad, and the endings are all that endings should be -- Sara Taylor * Metro * Full of such arresting, resonant and precise writing . . . an impressive achievement * Financial Times * This is not a debut in the usual sense; a promise of greater things to come. There is no need to ask what Danielle McLaughlin will do next, she has done it already. This book has arrived. I think it will stay with us for a long time * Anne Enright *
