WRITING:
Adrian Duncan writes with emotional accuracy and what seems like effortless precision about work and exile, about buildings and cities. To his narratives, he brings a mixture of the exact and the visionary. To his characters, he brings a rawness of feeling combined with an urgent need for them to make sense of the world. Duncan's novels 'Love Notes from a German Building Site' and 'A Sabbatical in Leipzig', and his collection of stories 'Midfield Dynamo', make clear that he is an original voice, a writer who has come to recreate the world on his own terms.

... at the very forefront of writing in Ireland.

Adrian Duncan is one of the most interesting Irish writers at work today. Those who have read his novels, Love Notes from a German Building Site and A Sabbatical in Leipzig, will remember the peculiar way his protagonists see the world and the unusual shapes his narratives take as a result. It is as if the text is teaching you how to read anew.
