Description

Nostalgic, dark, comic, iconoclastic, the Irish short story has always punched well above its weight. Anne Enright has brought together a dazzling collection of Irish stories written in the last sixty years, by authors from Elizabeth Bowen and Frank O'Connor to Claire Keegan and Kevin Barry. With a pithy and passionate introduction by Enright, The Granta Book of the Irish Short Story traces this great tradition through decades of social change, and shows the ease and pleasure Irish writers continue to take in the short story form. There is no truth so telling as a small truth, or so much fun. Also includes stories by: Maeve Brennan Mary Lavin William Trevor John McGahern Colum McCann Colm Toibin
