The Dogs of Inishere collects stories from across Alannah Hop-
kin's thirty-year career as a fiction and travel writer. The
stories presented here move from adolescence to middle age,
sensitive always to the particular social, emotional, and
intellectual challenges of the different phases of a life. An
adolescent girl bristles against the gendered assumptions and
expectations o mid-sixties London. A young writer struggles to
commit fully to the artist's life. A group of pub regulars in a
sleepy seaside town observe the quiet disappointments of love and
marriage. Along the way, Hopkin's protagonists, often writers
themselves, wrestle with the influence of literary figures from the
past, including Austen, Byron, Poe, Wilde, Lowry, and B.S. Johnson.
