O'connor Bridget - After A Dance Selected Stories - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: After a Dance is the compiled collection of short stories from acclaimed writer Bridget O Connor with an exclusive preface from the author's daughter Constance Straughan. These are some of the wildest arresting just plain brilliant short stories I've read in a long time. - Roddy Doyle author of The Woman Who Walked Into Doors Bridget O Connor was one of the great short story writers of her generation. She had a voice that was viscerally funny and an eye for both the glaring reality and the absurdity of the everyday. In After A Dance we meet a selection of O Connor's most memorable characters often living on the margin of their own lives: from the anonymous thief set on an unusual prize to the hungover best man clinging to what he's lost to the unrepentant gold - digger who always comes out on top. From unravelling narcissists to melancholy romantics all human life is here - at its best and at its delightful worst.
