˜To read Anne Enright is to be enthralled and moved' – Joseph O'Connor
The winner of the 2007 Man Booker Prize for The Gathering brings us a collection of sharp, vivid stories, snapshots of the body in trouble: in denial, in extremis, in love.
From Dublin to Venice, from an American college dorm to a holiday caravan in France, these are stories about women disturbed or fascinated by men. A woman's one night stand is illuminated by dreams of a young boy on a cliff road, another's is thwarted by a swarm of somnolent bees. A pregnant woman is stuck in a slow lift with a tactile American stranger. A naked mother changes a nappy in a hotel bedroom and waits for her husband.
These tales of loss and yearning, of surrender to responsibilities or to unexpected delight, share the unsettling, dislocated reality, the subversive wit and awkward tenderness that have marked Enright as a gifted writer.
