THE THING ABOUT SPACE, THE DEBUT NOVELLA FROM SHAUN POWELL. When Clare surrenders the spare-room in her Dublin apartment to Bunker, an online marketplace for lodgings and home-stays, she doesn't think much of the fleeting guests that come to stay. In fact, she does her best to avoid them. Struggling to finish her sophomore novel, and lumbering through life in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy, Clare has lost her way. But when Zoe, a mysterious and magnetic young woman from Belfast, checks in, Clare can't help her curiosity, and it's this unexpected encounter that will lead her on an extraordinary night around The Fair City - a night that will change Clare's life forever. THE THING ABOUT SPACE is a striking story about love, loss and friendship, and all the space in-between. Composed entirely in lockdown during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the novella is the debut release from Shaun Powell, an Irish writer who has previously garnered close to ONE MILLION READS online with his earlier work.
