No Paradiso

Irish writer William Wall's total command of words is demonstrated again.... There is something painterly about the way William Wall draws his characters, using just two or three deft strokes to bring a character to life... Little of what happens in the stories is particularly dramatic, but the instances of cruelty and human frailty that occur linger in the memory long after each story is finished... The reader cannot fail to be mesmerised by the quality of the prose and the poet's gift for the perfectly chosen word." -Sunday Tribune
