Description It's 1986, Dublin. Meet Davy Bleedin' Byrne. Hardworking, enterprising, and full of initiative, Davy is a sign of the time. Dribbling at the brim with intent, and with the reluctant support of his buddy Mickey Hughes, Davy doesn't take what he thinks should be his, he takes what he wants. The consequences are comical, disastrous and tragic.Any Other Time evokes a time and a place with startling immediacy. Set in the underworld of junkie Dublin and refreshingly written from the inside out, it conveys the inescapable feeling that nothing has been omitted, besides the numbers on the doors.
"Set in 1986 in the seedy junky underworld of Dublin's Ballymun, Any Other Time is a hard-hitting, in-your-face type of novel, clearly written by someone who has 'been there, done that." Irish World
"Trolan's portrayal of a hopeless underclass is both convincing and chilling . . . he has a rare and genuine gift for dialogue . . . [Any Other Time is an] undeniably powerful novel." The Sunday Tribune
"Any Other Time is wonderfully written and confirms Trolan's talent." Books Ireland
