-Descripcion Original:

Celebrated for her powerful short fiction, Claire Keegan now gifts us three exquisite stories together forming a brilliant examination of gender dynamics and an arc from Keegans earliest to her most recent work. In So Late in the Day, Cathal faces a long weekend as his mind agitates over a woman with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently; in The Long and Painful Death a writers arrival at the seaside home of Heinrich Beoll for a two-week writing residency is disrupted by an academic who imposes his criticisms and opinions; and in Antarctica a married woman travels out of town to see what its like to sleep with another man and ends up in the grip of a possessive stranger. Each story probes the dynamics that corrupt what could be between women and men: a lack of generosity, the weight of expectation, the looming threat of violence.--
