About the Story

Dublin, though it isa city, and capital city at that, has much of the feel of a small town, and being as I’m a small-town boy by breeding, this only serves to endear her. She was the perfect setting for my protagonist, Sven, to begin to unravel the mysteries of his own quirks and artistic passions. I relate in many ways to Sven and his searching through the mysteries of his mind, though I’m a little further down that road than him. I’ve had my red-haired lady (with a blessed measure of Irish blood) to be my muse in creative adventures.

The beauty in Dublin begins with her people, and the character of Caireann is a bit of the city herself, sexy, wise, spirited and enigmatic. Like all who visit a place for the first time, Sven sees Dublin through different eyes than native Caireann, though she clearly loves her city. Still, his peculiar artistic vision of the city reveals to her a new perspective, as much as her more seasoned eyes begin to reveal to him the deeper things he didn’t even know he was searching for when he came to Ireland.

The river Liffey both divides and unites Dublin, and her reflections are an artist’s dream. The often sparsely rationed Dublin sunsets can be revelations unto themselves, difficult to capture, and more difficult to quantify. It is the combination of these images that ultimately anchored my story, Abstract Liffey. A sense of breaking away from something old, a sense of uniting with something new. The perceptible shift one takes when one has gone from the living room to the bedroom. Beyond the polished vases and lamps that one shows to the guests to the earthier, but no less beautiful, inner sanctum.

I suppose it has become clear that I think Dublin is a lady. She is indeed an enigma, both abstract and tangible.

I am fortunate to remain bewitched by her charms, and I am honoured to have Abstract Liffey included in Sex in the City: Dublin.
