Description
Arrow Paperback, 1970. Old and yellowed but crisp and all there.
Playwright Brian Friel first became internationally known as a writer of stories for the New Yorker, which published twelve of his stories between 1959 and 1965. He collected 31 of his stories, from the New Yorker and other journals such as House Wife and U.S. Catholic, into two volumes: The Saucer of Larks (1962) and The Gold in the Sea (1966). In 1979 he selected 10 of these as a core corpus under the title Selected Stories published in 1979 with an Introduction by Seamus Deane (re-issued by Gallery Press in 1994). All collections are now out of print.
This 1970 Arrow paperback edition features 18 stories from both The Saucer of Larks and The Gold in the Sea.
