Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache. Verlag: BLACKSTAFF PR LTD, 208 Seiten, L=141mm, B=217mm, H=17mm, Gew.=286gr, [GR: 21110 - TB/Belletristik/Romane/Erzählungen], [SW: - Fiction - General], Kartoniert/Broschiert, Klappentext: Evelyn Conlon's last collection of short stories, Taking Scarlet as a Real Colour was praised by Publishers Weekly as "radiant...a first-rate collection full of original insights and characters", and the Irish Times called her a "genuinely exploratory writer....Her work is enticingly original". In A Glassful of Letters Conlon tackles emigration, working mothers, non-working mothers, Republican prisoners, the inhumanity of big business, adultery, and a lot more. Employing a dramatic narrative structure in which much of the story takes place in a series of letters, and set partly in Ireland, partly in New York, this is a very modern Irish novel, one which takes on the recent (and on-going) unprecedented self re-examination that has been going on in Ireland since the late 80's. The men and women of this novel are a diverse but tightly knit group, related to each other by family ties or by the simple fact of living on the same Dublin street. Conlon skillfully interlinks their stories to reflect the pressures -- and pleasures -- generated by rapidly changing social values. And at the heart of it all is the quiet bravery of one woman.
