Elske Rahill is an Irish-born novelist and short story writer. Her first novel, Between Dog and Wolf, was published in 2013. ‘There is something new and wonderful happening here’ said the Irish Times, and the Irish Independent declared, ‘Rahill has singled herself out as an intriguing and definitive voice of a new generation of Irish writers.’ In 2019, the debut was listed by the Irish Times as one of ‘The Best Books by Women of the 20th Century’. In the words of The Bookseller, her work explores ‘maternity, nurture, the inequality of social expectations and human compassion.’ She has won a literary bursary award four times from the Irish Arts Council. Her essays and short stories have appeared in literary journals from The Stinging Fly to Agni; the Winter Papers to The Faber Anthology of New Irish Short Stories. Of her short story collection, Kirsty Gunn said ‘In White Ink captures women and mothers caught inside their lives; Rahill’s art sets them free into ours.’ After reading her last novel, An Unravelling, Stevie Davis declared in The Guardian: ‘Rahill is a stylist of the highest calibre.’ Julianna Holland is a student and writer working in the Sligo.
