Val Mulkerns has been described by Sebastian Barry as, "a masterly writer in the tradition of SeAn O FaolAin" and Anne Enright notes that in her work, "liberalising, Shavian voices form a neglected strand of the Irish tradition."
After publishing ten books of literary fiction and short stories since her dEbut novel, A Time Outworn in 1951, Friends With The Enemy is an elegant memoir that takes us from an artistic childhood in Dublin through travels in post-war Europe, encounters with established authors in 1950s Ireland and the changing face of the country during the eighties and nineties. With a mellow, concise prose, she recalls her experiences of over almost seventy years as a writer and journalist.

This new collection brings together a selection of Val Mulkerns' short fiction from three collections, Antiquities (Andr Deutsch, 1978), An Idle Woman, (Poolbeg Press, 1980) and A Friend of Don Juan (John Murray, 1988). The stories take us from the cell of a rebel prisoner in 1916 through hard times in Dublin of the 1930s, the changing world of Ireland in the 60s and 70s and finally the eponymous 'Memory and Desire, ' a quintessential tale of the 80s.
Irish author Colm T ib n described the title story as "one of the finest short stories that has been published in Ireland for many years." Sebastian Barry has described Val Mulkerns as "a masterly writer in the tradition of Se n Faol in" and Booker Prize winner Anne Enright has said about the collection: "When writing is this accurate, this good, it does not fade."
In her Irish Times review of the work, Enright continued: "it is remarkable how these stories, published between 1978 and 1988, consistently point to things we pretended, in those days, not to know." The collection, often taking in characters largely ignored by Irish fiction writers, provides a keen and compelling glimpse of Irish society with prose that Sebastian Barry also called, "beautiful stories so composed they border on a very special Mulkernsian wildness."
