Kevin Barry received widespread critical acclaim and the Rooney prize for Irish Literature following the publication of this first book of stories in 2007. His stories have since appeared in The New Yorker and in the Granta Book of the Irish Short Story. His debut novel, City Of Bohane, was published by Jonathan Cape in April 2011. Could easily have been titled These Are Little Masterpieces'. Barry gathers all the bewildered exasperation that Irish playwrights from Tom Murphy to Marina Carr and Enda Walsh have identified, and brings it, most brilliantly, to his dark, blackly hilarious and horrifically realistic narratives.'-Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times Similar books: Dark Lies The Island by Kevin Barry Antarctica by Claire Keegan Night in Tunisia by Neil Jordan My Oedipus Complex by Frank O'Connor Walking the Dog by Bernard MacLaverty Collected Stories by Frank O'Connor Young Skins by Colin Barrett Saints and Sinners by Edna O'Brien The Collected Stories by John McGahern Walk the Blue Fields by Claire Keegan The Springs of Affection by Maeve Brennan Bullfighting by Roddy Doyle A Slanting of the Sun by Donal Ryan Mothers and Sons by Colm Toibin A Bit on the Side by William Trevor The Oxford Book of Irish Short Stories by William Trevor Sixty Stories by Donald Barthelme Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by David Foster Wallace An Actor's Life by Duncan Whitehead Selected Stories by Alice Munro
