Slip by Mia Gallagher (audio)
Slip by Mia Gallagher (audio), a short story which draws inspiration from the ‘Drowning Dog’ by Goya. A central theme of the story is memory, which also plays an important role in so many of the works appearing in our exhibition Tracing Time. We therefore wanted to include Slip, not least because it is a beautiful story where brittle -v- hard.
Slip first appeared The Music of What Happens, the Purple House Anthology of New Writing. This was edited by Tanya Farrelly and published by New Island in 2020 to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Purple House Cancer Support Centre in Bray, Co. Wicklow. For more details www.newisland.ie
