In a collection of nonfiction writings, the British novelist addresses his childhood, his experiences in Malaysia and Monaco, his own work and its critics, and the work of his contemporaries.

A collection of 26 twentieth-century Irish short stories, including works by Samuel Beckett, James Joyce, and W.B. Yeats. "The features of this volume which separate it from other anthologies are the quality and breadth of its selections and the fine introduction by the editor."--The Journal of Irish Literature "An excellent selection. Each of the 26 writers represented in this collection has his own unmistakable tone . . . proof that Irish writers, perhaps like no others, excel in this brief form."--Spectator "You will keep this book and read parts of it again and again. . . . Each time you enter it you will be in the presence of Ireland."--Anthony Burgess, in his Preface.

Rich in irony, sly humor, and vivid, dramatic imagery, the literature of the modern South is a vital amalgam of a once-rural society's storytelling tradition and the painful contradictions and cultural clashes brought about by rapid change. This excellent collection includes works by Truman Capote, James Agee, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Anne Tyler, Reynolds Price, and many others.
