Summary

This is the first collection of short stories by M J David. Drawn from personal experience and life in general, this eclectic mix of stories are captivating and will leave the reader wanting more. Some will have you asking questions about your life and how you live. Others will leave you with a sense of hope. Will you work out what the question is, in Dean Ruth Blackman’s riddle? What will be Charlotte’s final decision? Is life truly eternal, for Tobias and Monica Collingwood? How much pain does a father suffer during childbirth? And finally, how beautiful is the beautiful game when we really think about it? Although some of the collection is based on fact, the author states that, of those stories, only names and places have been changed and each of them have quite different endings.
Available since: 05/23/2017.

    The Best of Benedict Kiely is a treasure trove of his best and most acclaimed stories, published to mark the centenary of the birth of this great twentieth-century Irish writer. Many of these stories were originally published in The New Yorker before appearing in four collections over a 24-year period during the writer's lifetime. They are quintessential Kiely; superbly crafted, mingling song, anecdote, myth, history and a powerful sense of place into an allusive storyline. They show Kiely's supreme gift in recording the feeling of lived life, pulsing with joys, disappointments and the accidental and deliberate digressions along the way.
Colum McCann has observed in Kiely's work that '… there is really no such thing as an end, because the stories keep unfolding and influencing' and these classic Kiely stories, published together for the first time, will linger with the reader, young or old, long after the final sentence.

    "The Ghost Pirates" is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power.
