One of Ireland’s finest writers here follows his magnificent and critically acclaimed memoir, Things You Should Know, with a collection of short stories, set over the centuries and bound by one mitigating the factor – a field near his beloved Athy, Co. Kildare. Each story showcases MacKenna’s incredible gift of capturing a moment, an emotion, a time in sensuous yet stark language. Oft likened to the late John McGahern, this wonderful collection of one of the true art forms – the short story – is further proof that those comparisons are richly deserved.
