About this title

Review:

Gentle, lyrical, an amorist of language, a natural historian of the soul. Source: Irish Times

Exquisite short stories . . . Here is a Dublin of tatty dancehalls and uneasy courtships, of kisses in damp doorways and unfulfilled hungerings . . . Writing of extraordinary beauty. Author: Joseph O'Connor Source: Guardian

One of the greatest writers of our era. Author: Hilary Mantel

The Collected Stories of John McGahern, one of Ireland's finest writers, seem to span every human experience. Source: Cosmopolitan

He writes with authority and gravity, and with an instinct for the most appropriate detail. Source: Times Literary Supplement

Book Description:

These Collected Stories of John McGahern can surely only reaffirm McGahern's status as 'Ireland's greatest living novelist' (the Observer), and extend his claims into the territory of the short story.
