These eleven stories by Desmond Hogan, his first publication since
Larks' Eggs: New and Selected Stories (2005), collect newly minted
shards of experience focused on the lives of the dreamers and
marginalized who populate his imagined worlds. They range in time
and place from France, Germany and Italy in the nineteenth century
to Ireland of the 1950s and the present day. Their concerns are
fragility and identity expressed through the outer semblances of
dress and deportment, and inner realities of involuntary memory and
the retrieval of shared pasts. Close observation of nature combines
with psychological unveilings, much of it in the form of erotic
reverie. This bricolage of melded history and a fragmented
modernism renders truth-to-experience like no other contemporary
voice.
