Synopsis
A rainbow-like collection of eleven new stories by one of the all-time masters, certainly Ireland's greatest living narrative writer. He is as quintessentially Irish as Frank O'Connor or Sean O'Casey, but his literary forebears are Continental. Stendahl's sophistication, Turgenev's grace, Chekhov's mystery have been variously invoked by O'Faolain's admirers. It is certain that his stories are among the enduring treasures of twentieth-century literature.As always, O'Faolain's concern is with the center of experience, with what is eternal and love, shame, devotion, pride; the fugue of childhood, the longings of adolescence, the secret abysses of marriage, the tenacity of old age. One story is set in Boston, one on an Italian lake, the others in Ireland.(from front flap)
