IT WAS something of a surprise when Paddy O'Reilly suggested we go to Hell's Kitchen. Not living up to its name, it was a quiet place to speak.

O'Reilly is a Melbourne-based author with a growing national reputation.

A multi-award winner for screenplays and fiction, her first novel, The Factory, was voted one of the best books for 2005 by The Australian Book Review. Her latest book, The End of the World, is a fine collection of short stories.
