These 34 funny, tragic, bracing, and acerbic stories represent the complete short fiction of one of Ireland’s finest living writers. On struggling farms, in Dublin’s rain-drenched streets, or in parched exile in Franco’s Spain, McGahern’s characters wage a confused but touching war against the facts of life.
