This special edition showcases a diverse range of narratives, showcasing both classic works and lesser-known writers, including women, LGBT writers, Traveller folktales, neglected 19th-century authors, and the first wave of new Irish writers residing in Ireland. Gleeson skillfully weaves together stories that span from the most sublime realism to the utterly bizarre and transgressive, drawing from both established literary figures and emerging talents. The collection delves into a vast spectrum of experiences, encompassing tales such as Bram Stoker's prank gone awry, Sally Rooney's exploration of the love languages of the modern generation, Donal Ryan's poignant portrayal of aging, Edna O'Brien's exploration of the sacrifices we make for love, James Joyce's portrayal of a young woman torn between the familiar constraints of her home and the alluring allure of romance and escape, and Marian Keyes' introspective account of a woman in a coma. Additionally, readers are treated to vivid and less familiar stories by Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi, Oein De Bharduin, Blindboy Boatclub, and Melatu Uche Okorie. Sinéad Gleeson's anthology stands as a magnificent testament to the vibrant literary tradition thriving in the 21st century, offering a captivating glimpse into the diverse tapestry of Irish storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 183 x 248 x 41 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800249691                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reissue                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098335211770,"sku":"9781800249691","price":13.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/a5705645990b3d7103af7726c2a3e36e.jpg?v=1639711582","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/art-of-the-glimpse-100-irish-short-stories-1","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
