Beschrijving boek
Edited by Benedict Kiely.
Mercurial, intoxicating, witty or sad, the Irish short story is as full of charm [and blarney] as the people themselves.
This is a selection of thirty-eight stories covering many generations and many moods of Irish writing. It begins with an exquisite love story, an ancient saga retold by Lady Gregory; continues with George Moore and the birth of the modern short story at the turn of the century; includes such pre-eminent writers as James Joyce, Sean O’Faolain, Mary Lavin and Liam O’Flaherty, whose work re-established the tradition of the short story; and concludes with the newer but no less practised exponents of the art - Elizabeth Bowen, William Trevor and Edna O’Brien.
