Lilliput continues the re-issue of Irish backlist titles with this sensitive, poetic and passionate story. The Leaves on Grey is Desmond Hogan's second novel, originally published in 1980 and made available here with a new Afterword, in which the author reflects on his work.
The collection showcases the mastery of one of Ireland's most significant writers, presenting stories that unfold with deliberate, slow precision over twelve years. Each tale, while seemingly meandering, offers a depth and richness comparable to a full novel, inviting readers to explore intricate themes and suggestions woven throughout.
A collection of twelve mint fresh stories from the award winning Irish author, described by Neil Jordan as 'the real thing - a writer of great originality, dramatic flair, linguistic invention - who remakes the world every time he puts pen to paper.'
