"Often hailed as a 'national genre', the short story has a long and distinguished tradition in Ireland and continues to fascinate readers and writers alike. Critical appreciation of the Irish short story, however, has laboured for too long under the normative conception of it as a realist form, used to depict quintessential truths about Ireland and Irish identity.

This book includes essays that consider the diverse national and international influences on the Irish short story and investigate its genealogy." -- Page 4 of cover.
