She lives in Dublin. "A feat of language" Kirkus starred review of Vertigo "Walsh’s writing has intellectual rigour and bags of formal bravery... Hotel is a boldly intellectual work that repays careful reading... in its deft delineation of a complex modern phenomenon — and, perhaps, a modern malaise — it’s a great success." Melissa Harrison in The Financial Times "Grow a Pair is surreal, bawdy and inventive (wickedly so)." Marina Warner in The Guardian “Walsh’s closest literary ally is probably Lydia Davis, with whom she shares a brevity and starkness of expression. . . Walsh’s refreshing humour — sometimes biting; sometimes absurd — lends her work a poignancy that is genuinely affecting.” The TLS on Fractals
