An anthology of the very best Irish short stories, selected by
Sinead Gleeson, author of Constellations. There have been many
anthologies of the short story as it developed in Ireland, but
never a collection like this. The Art of the Glimpse is a radical
revision of the canon of the Irish story, uniting classic works
with neglected writers and marginalised voices - women, LGBT
writers, Traveller folk-tales, lost 19th-century voices and the
first wave of 'new Irish' writers from elsewhere now making a life
in Ireland. Sinead Gleeson brings together stories ranging from the
sublime to the downright bizarre, from classics to the new
generation of writers, and from well known names to previously
unpublished talent. The collection paints a tremendous spectrum of
experience: the story of a prank come good by Bram Stoker; Sally
Rooney on the love languages of the new generation; Donal Ryan on
the pains of ageing; Edna O'Brien on political entanglements; James
Joyce on losing a loved one; and the internal monologue of a coma
sufferer by Marian Keyes. List of contributing authors: Samuel
Beckett, Sally Rooney, Melatu Uche Okirie, William Trevor, Marian
Keyes, Kevin Barry, Edna O'Brien, Claire-Louise Bennett, Sheridan
