The Love Object: Selected Stories of Edna O`Brien; Selected Sto
Collected here together for the first time in one beautiful volume are the stories of an expert practitioner of the shorter form. Spanning five decades of writing, The Love Object takes the most memorable and successful stories from collections like A Scandalous Woman and Saints and Sinners; stories such as ´Shovel Kings´, ´Irish Revel´, ´Lantern Slides´ and ´Paradise´ that have bewitched generation after generation. Referred to in the New York Review of Books by Harold Bloom as ´the short story master´, Edna O´Brien´s stories are a cumulative portrait of a nation, seen from within and without.
