Book NowLucy Caldwell joins us with a highly anticipated new collection of short stories, Devotions. Transporting and profound, these are stories of love, grief, longing, of new beginnings, and the ways we find shelter in each other. From a young Belfast theatre troupe bringing an experimental production of Hamlet to New York, to a man who loses all he thought he had, and finds himself haunted by all he never will, these are exhilarating and devastating short stories.
Lucy was born in Belfast in 1981 and is the author of four novels, several stage plays and radio dramas and three previous collections of short stories: Multitudes, Intimacies and Openings.
Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018, she was the editor of Being Various: New Irish Short Stories in 2019. She won the BBC National Short Story Award in 2021 for All the People Were Mean and Bad. Other awards include the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the George Devine Award, the Dylan Thomas Prize, the Walter Scott Prize and the 2022 E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts & Letters.
