On The Way Out
By Liam Horan
Liam Horan, winner of the Gerald Griffin Competition for First Adult Fiction 2025, makes a compelling debut with On The Way Out — a quietly powerful novel that introduces a fresh voice in contemporary Irish fiction. With sharp observational detail, wry humour and emotional depth, Horan explores how lives are reshaped in small towns where everyone knows your name — and your business. Published by Savoy Editions, an imprint of Limerick Writers’ Centre.
