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
