Description
Derry is already abuzz with news that famous American actor Monica Logue has flown to the city and will be starring in a new series set during the Troubles. And then she goes missing...
From budding young actors hoping for a role to a grieving parent whose story forms the backbone of the narrative, and from newspaper editors covering the mystery to taxi drivers who hear all the news from their clients, The Dogs in the Street follows the city's cast as they all try to locate themselves in Monica's disappearance.
Séamas O'Reilly's debut novel is a comedy about dramatising tragedy and the responsibilities of a teller to a tale. It brings to life the voices of a city—the people, families, and communities who find themselves obsessed with, and terrified of, interrogating their past.
