Dogs Enjoy the Morning Summary

Dogs Enjoy the Morning by Benedict Kiely

Dogs Enjoy the Morning is an uproarious novel full of weird and wonderful characters set in Cosmona, a fictitious village somewhere in Ireland ... The doctor and his loving wife are secretly watched by Gabriel Rock, a one-eyed local Peeping Tom. A shell-shocked chaplain stalks through the village with his three hounds in tow, like Fionn MacCool. Nurse 'Mouse' Walters is seduced by the bed-bound Brother Lane. Teresa and Dympna, two young ones on the tear in Dublin, get mixed up with Amantha who specializes in robbing sailors. Cathy Hanafin can only drink red wine and her absentee husband, Whispering Christy, is on his way home. And then Gabriel Rock and daft Nora consummate their passion on top of the tower for all the world to see ...

About Benedict Kiely

Benedict Kiely (1919-2007) was born in County Tyrone, on 15 August 1919, and spent his formative years in Omagh. As a teenager, he felt the urge to become a writer and dreamed of the life of a scholar. He trained as a Jesuit priest but after a lengthy convalescence from a spinal ailment, he decided that the religious life was not for him and he took an arts degree at University College, Dublin. His first novel, Land Without Stars, was published in 1946, at which time he was a leader-writer on the Irish Independent. He spent almost fifteen years as literary editor of the Irish Press. Retiring from full-time journalism in the mid-1960s, he became a visiting professor of creative writing at several American universities, later lecturing at UCD. Kiely's regular contributions to RTE Radio's 'Sunday Miscellany' included short talks, mostly on literature and other Irish topics, for over a quarter of a century between the 1970s and 1990s. It was in this capacity that his mellifluous voice became so widely known. He was the author of ten novels and six collections of short stories, in addition to numerous works of non-fiction. He was awarded honorary doctorates by the National University of Ireland and Queen's University, Belfast. In 1996 he received the highest honour of Aosdana when he was elected a Saoi in recognition of his contribution to literature. After a short illness in early 2007, Benedict Kiely died in Dublin at the age of eighty-seven.
