The Starved Lover Sings

Colin O'Sullivan lives in the north of Japan with his family and works as an English teacher.
His short fiction and poetry have been published in various print and online anthologies and magazines, including A Living Word (anthology of Irish writers), Staple New Writing, The Stinging Fly, These are Our Lives and Cork Literary Review.
Colin O'Sullivan's first novel, Killarney Blues, captivated critics and readers alike and has been translated into French.

"Colin O'Sullivan writes with a style and a swagger all his own. His voice - unique, strong, startlingly expressive - both comes from and adds to Ireland's long and lovely literary lineage. Like many of that island's sons and daughters, O'Sullivan sends language out on a gleeful spree, exuberant, defiant, ever-ready for a party. Only a soul of stone could resist joining in." -Niall Griffiths, author of A Great Big Shining Star
"His words swagger with purpose, never meandering too long on a scene, always moving the story forward, even when it goes back in time, like a faded photograph coming into view. Lyrical to a point, one word flowing to the next, hardly stopping." -LoveSexAndOtherDirtyWords.com
"Marvellous novel, endearing, moving, fascinating. I adored it. O'Sullivan is a real writing talent." -Jean-Paul Gratias, literary translator
