This remarkable volume brings together all of the short fiction of John McGahern, published during his lifetime.  McGahern has long been recognised as a master of the short story; the Collected Stories confirms his reputation as one of Ireland’s greatest writers.

 

Gentle, lyrical, an amorist of language, a natural historian of the soul.

Irish Times

 

He writes with authority and gravity, and with an instinct for the most appropriated detail.
