ALL THEM DOGS Spring 2026

"In the best Irish style, Djamel White uses a local voice to blast through language and make it new. His hero, Tony Ward, is a bittersweet confection of self-defeating swagger and All Them Dogs is a stylish, adroit and gritty debut"– Anne Enright

“All Them Dogs is a claustrophobic masterpiece—an emotionally devastating literary crime novel set in Dublin's underworld, where violence, poverty, and toxic masculinity form a brutal backdrop to a brilliantly tender love story. Here is an intimate tale of violence and desire that is as sharp as the knives wielded on the page. Djamel White has taken a familiar genre and turned it into something bright and new, burning like white phosphorus.” – Isaac Fitzgerald, New York Times bestselling author of Dirtbag, Massachusetts
