The Short Story

by Seán Ó Faoláin

  

€ 16.99 

ISBN: 9781917453233

Seán Ó Faoláin's 'The Short Story', first published in 1948, remains a cornerstone text in literary criticism. This seminal work offers profound insights into the craft of short fiction, examining the delicate balance between a writer's experiences and artistic expression. Ó'Faoláin, a renowned Irish author, analyses Chekhov and Maupassant while exploring the essential elements of storytelling: Convention, Subject, and Language.

His unique perspective as an Irish writer engaged with European literary traditions gives the book a broad, cosmopolitan outlook. 'The Short Story' stands alongside Frank O'Connor's 'The Lonely Voice' as an indispensable resource for writers, readers, and scholars.
