We Used to Dance Here is a portrait of both Dublin and Dubliners in flux, exploring life on the margins, toxic masculinity and frustrated ambitions. With dog tracks, late-night radio talk shows, pubs, messy break-ups, industrial accidents and the reality of housing precarity, these stories show a darker, edgier side to Dublin and they do so in brilliant, crackling prose.
DAVE TYNAN is a writer and director from Dublin. He is the director of numerous award-winning short films and one feature. His stories have been published in the Stinging Fly and Winter Papers. We Used to Dance Here is his first book.
