Callaghan's writing is wide ranging but often takes on the
perspective of a marginalized individual's view of the human
experience. These tales are told in a variety of voices: street
hustlers, priests, blues singers, Holocaust survivors,
cross-dressers, paramilitary snipers, even those we may
euphemistically consider the "ordinary"-all of them authentic, and
all would subscribe to the maxim that "happiness is overrated." The
dialogue is true to speech as it is spoken, shot through with
humour, piercing sadness and puzzling beauty.
