Dundalk author Austin publishes his second novel

Aspiring writers are often told to write about what they know and while Dundalk-born Austin Duffy has left the aspiring label behind, he still writes about what he knows best.
An oncologist and cancer researcher, his acclaimed debut novel 'This Living and Immortal Thing' saw him writing about breast cancer. In his new book, the wife of the central character has died of ovarian cancer and as the story develops, it becomes clear that her widower is also ill.
'It's inevitable that the stuff you know about and what you spend your time dealing with is going to find its way into your writing,' he said.

Ten Days, the new novel by Austin Duffy, published by Granta.
When Wolf's recently-estranged wife Miriam dies from cancer, his entire world is turned upside down. Wolf and his daughter, Ruth, travel to New York from London to scatter Miriam's ashes in the Hudson River. During the ten High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur they connect up with Miriam's conservative Jewish family, who are adamantly against Miriam's choice of burial. Battling the antagonism of Miriam's Orthodox family, Wolf is also coming to terms with his own hopes to put right wrongs before it's too late.

Art imitates life and the novels of 2021 confirm just how true this is. Writers, like everyone else, found themselves confined this year and the result is the recurring leitmotif of family, pervading almost every fiction genre from crime to coming-of-age novels, from historical fiction right through to dystopia. Here are some examples from the leading titles of the new year.
