SHORTLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOT PRIZE 2022
'Utterly original . A bolt from the blue for Irish writing' Niamh Campbell, winner of the Rooney Prize for This Happy
'A queer underworld Thelma & Louise with better jokes' Sarah Moss
'This year's most ambitious and well-written debut' Irish Independent
When Dundalk underworld regular Aoife brings the wild and magnetic Annie to the Town, her desire to love and cling to this dangerous stranger culminates in a road trip through Britain to dispose of ten kilos of cocaine for her business partner, The Rat King. But when Annie decides not to return to Ireland, Aoife makes a decision that changes everything.
Tender, tragic but ultimately hopeful, Iron Annie is a breakneck journey that crackles with energy, warmth and heart, and marks the arrival of a truly original new voice in literary fiction.
'Written in an exhilarating, lyrical vernacular, in much the way of Anna Burns, Kevin Barry or even Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting' Daily Mail

Recenzii
A queer underworld Thelma & Louise with better jokes ... Very funny ... Cassidy keeps tight control of a story that's simultaneously state of the nation, romance and crime.
A DAILY MAIL BOOK OF THE YEARAn electrifying debut ... Cassidy excels at combining antic storytelling and vernacular lyricism with piercing observations of parochial Irish life. A blast
[A] barnstorming gangland comedy set among a motley band of drug-runners from Dundalk, Ireland, where debut author Luke Cassidy was born ... Cassidy's ingenious use of rhythm and phonetics make Aoife's voice sing from the page ... Iron Annie is a blast - tender and brutal, funny and sad. It also has interesting things to say about hot topics such as gender and Ireland's relationship with post-Brexit Britain. Above all, though, it's a spectacular feat of firecracker prose. Not to be missed ... A full-spectrum thrill from a first-time novelist who looks destined for great things
Absolutely brilliant. Fizzes with energy - and with raunchiness, colour, beauty, and insight
Written in an exhilarating, lyrical vernacular, in much the way of Anna Burns, Kevin Barry or even Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting ... Aoife is a character redeemed to a large extent by her extraordinary narrative voice, yet Cassidy also summons up an entire small-town world here, one that's both fiercely informed by under-the-radar community bonds and at the mercy of wider seismic political forces. Terrific
What an exquisite novel Iron Annie is. The narrative voice fair crackles: it's full of wonder, grit, insight, sadness and joy, and is quite beautiful. And Aoife is one of those fictional characters that arrives only once or twice in an age, sublimely rendered and completely unforgettable.
Iron Annie is absolutely everything I love in a book. The energy, the voice, the language, the characters, all real, raw and utterly convincing. Luke Cassidy is an incredible talent, with an ear for language to rival that of Kevin Barry, I could hear every single word.
Wonderful, imaginative, highly original emotional rollercoaster of a story
Iron Annie is a novel full of grit and pearls - its language crackles with life. Luke Cassidy is a writer with a keen eye and a finely-tuned ear
Utterly original ... I think this book is like a bolt from the blue for Irish writing
It's apparent from the opening lines of Iron Annie that Luke Cassidy can write. His prose fizzes with energy and music, and the reader is immediately plunged into the anarchic underbelly of Ireland and the lives of Cassidy's vivid characters.
It's wild and fierce and full of awful life. Also dead funny . . . This needs to be slapped on the arse and let out snorting into the world like a mustang horse
Iron Annie marks the arrival of a fresh and compelling young voice in literary fiction . . . These complex, funny, tender, lewd and lovely characters will grab you by the throat from the first line and dare you to stop reading
Iron Annie is a staggering debut novel. And what makes it so stylish and ferocious isn't the drugs, the brutal violence, or even the wild love and sex - it's the language. I've never read anything like the sentences in here.
Brave and fearless . Put me in the mind of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting . It snaps and crackles.
Amazing first novel filled with drugs and sex and rock and roll . It's so dense and rich. I'm dying to see the play.
'Fans of Irvine Welsh will find a lot to like here, but Cassidy deserves more than mere comparisons for Aoife's gripping narrative voice and the construction of his own Dundalk-based netherworld. A strong debut'
Ambitious, utterly original and full of an energy that will linger long
