Author's third book of short stories. ***Near fine in dark blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles and rules to spine. Tail of spine very slightly rubbed. Spine tight. Pages clean.

These new stories point to a departure from the style of the earlier volumes, being altogether gentler, although still wryly observant and sharp. If there is a common theme it is probably to be found in the surreal juxtaposition of ordinary people and extraordinary desires or longings, in the combination of real life and fantasy that illuminates most of the stories.' ***'Generous and compassionate, and to coin a phrase, bloody marvellous.' Irish Times about The Fading Shrine, the author's first novel. (Quote and review quote from inside front and rear of dustwrapper blurb respectively). ***First impression of the true first edition of the author's third collection of short stories in its original dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 3353
