The September Art of Reading book club features Laureate for Irish Fiction Colm Tóibín in conversation with writer Wendy Erskine about her short story collection 'Dance Move'. “The Guardian writes of Wendy Erskine’s collection of stories: ‘She identifies what is most fruitful about her characters’ predicaments – the emotional core, the most resonant ironies – and traces with rapt and infectious attention their doomed if valiant attempts to shimmy away from the real.’ The stories, the Dublin Review of Books writes, ‘are gloriously offbeat tales of people who live on the flip side and are out of step with those around them.” — Colm Tóibín Wendy Erskine’s two prize-winning short story collections, Sweet Home and Dance Move, are published by The Stinging Fly Press and Picador. Other fiction has been published by, among others, Rough Trade Book and The Tangerine Press. She recently edited Well I Just Kind of Like It, an anthology about the home and art, produced by Paper Visual Art. In 2022 she was a Seamus Heaney Fellow at Queen’s University. She is a full-time secondary school teacher.
