In \"So Late in the Day,\" Cathal faces a long weekend as his mind agitates over a woman with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently; in \"The Long and Painful Death\" a writer's arrival at the seaside home of Heinrich B鑰ll for a two-week writing residency is disrupted by an academic who imposes his criticisms and opinions; and in \"Antarctica\" a married woman travels out of town to see what it's like to sleep with another man and ends up in the grip of a possessive stranger.' Each story probes the dynamics that corrupt what could be between women and men: a lack of generosity, the weight of expectation, the looming threat of violence.\"--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClaire Keegan\u003c\/b\u003e's works of fiction are internationally acclaimed and have been translated into thirty languages. \u003ci\u003eAntarctica\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ewon the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. \u003ci\u003eWalk the Blue Fields\u003c\/i\u003e won the Edge Hill Prize for the finest collection of stories published in the British Isles. \u003ci\u003eFoster\u003c\/i\u003e won the Davy Byrnes Award -- the world's richest prize for a short story. \u003ci\u003eSmall Things Like These\u003c\/i\u003e was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Rathbones Folio Prize.
