The #1 Irish Times bestsellerA special reissue from Head of Zeus's
bestselling anthology collection of the very best Irish short
stories, selected by Sinead Gleeson, author of Constellations,
winner of the Irish Book Award Non Fiction Book of the Year 2019.
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, neglected
19th-century authors and the first wave of 'new Irish' writers from
all over the world now making a life in Ireland. Sinead Gleeson
brings together stories that range from the most sublime realism to
the downright bizarre and transgressive, some from established
literary figures and some that have not yet been published in book
form. The collection draws on 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 the things we betray for love; James Joyce
on a young woman torn between the familiar burdens and oppression
of her home and the dangerous lure of romance and escape; and the
internal monologue of a woman in a coma by Marian Keyes. Here too
are vivid and less familiar stories by Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi, Oein De
Bharduin, Blindboy Boatclub and Melatu Uche Okorie. Sinead
Gleeson's anthology is a marvellous representation of a rich
literary tradition renewing itself in the 21st century.
