The Vintage Book Of Contemporary Irish Fiction

This dazzling anthology, edited and introduced by Dermot Bolger, is a splendidly comprehensive and up-to-the-minute collection of the finest recent fiction from a nation of master storytellers. Here are Irishmen and Irishwomen at home and abroad, growing up and growing old, living in pastoral villages or at loose in London and New York. Here, in short, is a collection of astonishing breadth that reveals a literature of genuinely global stature, as ancient as the Irish Sea and as up-to-the-minute as a newsflash.
