Life and work

Ó Guilín grew up in County Donegal though he went to school in Clongowes Wood College in County Kildare.[1] He is now based in Dublin where he works for a computer company.[2][3] Raised speaking Irish and English, Ó Guilín is also fluent in French, and Italian. He has written a number of stories and novels. His first novel, The Inferior, was published to critical acclaim in September 2007 and translations into nine languages including Japanese and Korean.[4][5] Before writing novels, Ó Guilín wrote a number of plays and worked on a weekly print comic with the artist Laura Howell, Sneaky, the Cleverest Elephant in the World, aimed at kids.[5][6]

The Times Educational Supplement called his first novel "a stark, dark tale, written with great energy and confidence and some arresting reflections on human nature."[5]
