Collected Stories

A landmark event: the collected stories of 'one of the greatest writers of our era' (Hilary Mantel) and 'the Irish novelist everyone should read' (Colm Tóibín). 'Wise and compelling … Elegiac and graceful.' David Mitchell 'I have admired, even loved, John McGahern's work since his first novel.' Melvyn Bragg 'Gentle, lyrical, an amorist of language, a natural historian of the soul.'Irish Times 'Exquisite stories . . . Here is a Dublin of tatty dancehalls and uneasy courtships, of kisses in damp doorways and unfulfilled hungerings . . . Writing of extraordinary beauty.'Guardian
