Oran Ryan is a writer and poet from Dublin City Centre, Ireland. The themes of his work vary from autobiographical to experimental, from philosophical to science fiction. The writer and publisher Seamus Cashman called Ryan “a new and powerful voice in Irish Writing”[1] while launching his first novel The Death of Finn[2]. The screenwriter Gavin Ryan in his MA thesis, wrote of how Ryan in his cubistic novel Ten Short Novels by Arthur Kruger, delivered Terry Eagleton’s new aesthetic (1[3]). The James Joyce scholar and politician, Senator David Norris, in a debate in the Irish Senate, spoke of Ryan as ‘a writer of talent’ and the novel One Inch Punch as “a very subtle book, revolving entirely around the devastating impact of bullying on a child in a school for gifted children" and[4] likened his work to that of Flann O’ Brien. Speaking of his poetry, the poet and activist Kevin Higgins spoke of Ryan’s book Portrait of an Atheist Monk at Prayer in the following terms: “In poems of sometimes cosmic irony, comedy and tragedy dance together in a way that is often sublime.”
