- Roddy Doyle, author of The Woman Who Walked Into Doors
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.
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.
These stories are a testament to O Connor's talent for capturing the essence of human experience in a few words. Her characters are flawed and complex, and their struggles and triumphs are relatable and unforgettable.
Whether you're a fan of short stories or just looking for a great read, After a Dance is a must-have. Bridget O Connor's writing is a masterclass in storytelling, and her characters will stay with you long after you've finished the last page.
