“The Bees Knees and the Cat’s Galoshes” (by Olive-Ann Tynan)

“The Bees Knees and the Cat’s Galoshes” (by Olive-Ann Tynan) | SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN: An Irish writer whose first work of fiction appeared in EQMM’s Department of First Stories in 2013, Olive-Ann Tynan has lived in Italy for many years. She currently works as a translator from Italian to English and was at one time editor for an Italian-language golf magazine. Despite her long immersion in another culture, she continues to find her native Ireland in the period of her childhood the most fertile soil for her fiction, something she talks about in this post. Olive-Ann’s latest EQMM story, “Alive, Alive-Oh,” is in our current issue, March/April 2017.—Janet Hutchings
