Polly Dugan's writing captures a moment in time and follows it as the afterward unfolds. Her predominantly Irish Catholic characters are challenged by their flaws, faith, morality, mortality and circumstances. Although animals often appear in her stories, she does not write animal stories.

Polly Dugan is a graduate of Dickinson College, and a four-time attendee of the Tin House Writers Workshop where she worked with Steve Almond, Elissa Schappell, Meg Storey and Joy Williams. Her stories have appeared in Line Zero and Narrative and received Honorable Mention recognition in Glimmer Train's Short Story Award for New Writers August 2009.
​
She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, two sons, an enormous black Labrador Retriever and a yard sale cat. Her collection of ten linked stories, ​​So Much a Part of You, will be published by Little, Brown; June 10, 2014. She is currently working on a novel, The Sweetheart Deal, in which a confirmed bachelor is forced to honor a drunken pact made twelve years earlier to marry his best friend’s wife if he dies. Little, Brown, Spring 2015.

About So Much a Part of You:

From the Depression to the present, the emotional and moral burdens of alcoholism, abortion, infidelity, and the losses of friends, parents and children are seamlessly woven together in Dugan's stark and powerful writing. The ten linked stories in So Much a Part of You revolve around Anna Riley and Anne Cavanaugh, two women with a common lover, Peter Herring. While following the lives of Anna and Anne, and revisiting familiar characters, friendships are tested and family secrets are exposed, and the ripple effects of their emotional choices poignantly rise to the surface.
