Bartholomew Port, known to all as Mew, steps into the bushes in a London park and steps out of the bushes in a Dublin one. Not only that - there are no cars; there are moving footpaths; there is no church; everything seems quite queer. Mew has arrived in a Dublin that is alive with song, with rumour, with ghosts, and with an unmistakable sense of insurgency. An unravelling, an impossibility, a gathering of voices and a single dream, Dooneen is the layered, allusive and wildly original new novel from Keith Ridgway, 'one of Ireland's best writers, in a country with no shortage of them' (Times). 

Keith Ridgway is the author of The Long Falling, which won both the 2001 Prix Fémina Étranger and Premier Roman Étranger. His collection of stories Standard Time won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. His second novel, The Parts, alongside his novella, Horses, was shortlisted for the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award 2003. His novel, A Shock (2021), was shortlisted for the 2021 Goldsmiths Prize and was awarded the 2022 James Tait Black Prize for Fiction. Dooneen is his first novel to be published by Fitzcarraldo Editions. He lives in London.
