From vicious rival brothers to desperate single mothers, frisky
newlyweds to frigid life partners, Patrick McGinley covers all
kinds of Irish (or simply human) relationship in this collection of
short stories. In fourteen stories, some brief glimpses of an hour
in the life, some longer explorations of years of growing
animosity, McGinley explores the ties that bind us: the bond of
family, unbreakable even when we wish it severed; the financial and
emotional connections we make with our neighbours and colleagues;
even the brief and tenuous link between a con artist and his prey.
In turns hilarious and heart-wrenching, sweet and savage, Irish
Portraits gives the reader a first-hand look at the lives of its
characters, a handful of countrymen with one thing in common: their
humanity.
