Description - Curfew and Other Stories by Sean O'Reilly

Curfew and other stories, Sean O'Reilly's debut collection, introduces a writer of great beauty, humour and pathos. Set against a desperately bleak and unforgiving landscape, O'Reilly's stories are refracted through a twisted, and sometimes horrifically surreal, lens. His characters in stories like A Charmer and Rainbows at Midnight are frequently rootless and lost; set adrift in a world that seems familiar and yet oddly removed and dislocated from everyday experience.By turns mysterious, violent and funny, O'Reilly's first collection is a raging journey into another Ireland, a world where the myths have been defeated - or supplanted - by darker realities of a more unnatural kind.
