Sean O'Faolain: A Study of the Short Fiction (Twayne's Studies in Short Fiction)

In this textual study of the great Irish writer's short fiction canon, Butler argues that O'Faolain (1900-1991) is both a realist who never entirely relinquishes romanticism and a storyteller who holds fast to traditional forms of narrative. Includes some of O'Faolain's own essays on writing, selections from critics, and a substantial bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
