Description
Celebrated as a book of the year 2025 in numerous newspapers including The Irish Times, The Guardian, The Observer, and The Sunday Times, Every One Still Here heralds the arrival of a brilliant new Irish writer.
“First, foremost: 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.
—Kevin Power, The Irish Times
“[T]he collection of the year was undoubtedly Every One Still Here from the young Northern Irish writer Liadan Ní Chuinn. From the generational trauma of the Troubles to profound questions of memory and identity and the quirks of contemporary society, these stories are fiercely political and confronting, but also hum with the mysteries of life. They mark the arrival of a phenomenal new talent.”
—Justine Jordan, The Guardian
“It’s a long time since I’ve read a short story collection where I’ve felt such an aching tenderness for the people within its pages, and at times an anger on their behalf. How brilliant it is that Liadan Ní Chuinn can render their lives in such complex, compelling ways.”
—Wendy Erskine
