Ireland has been called a nation of story-tellers. For centuries they have been offered to strangers, almost as hospitality is: tall stories, simple stories, stories of extraordinary deeds, of mysteries and wonders, of gentleness, love, cruelty, and violence. Stories of one kind or another have a way of pressing themselves into Irish conversation, both as entertainment and as a form of communication, writes William Trevor.
Included are such masters as James Joyce and Elizabeth Bowen, who established Ireland at the forefront of the modern short story, as well as Himself an accomplished short story writer, Trevor has gathered here a collection of stories that represent not only the best of Irish short story writing, but the best of the genre.Spanning the entire history of the Irish short story, from folk-tales to modern writing, this is the most broad-ranging anthology available.
