This review is from: Dublin Where Palm Trees Grow (Paperback)
Unfortunately scarce, this collection of short stories by Hamilton sits nicely along his Coyne thrillers, his German-based three novels, and his "Speckled People" memoir. It includes the first Hamilton fiction I read, "Nazi Christmas," which in my opinion tries too hard to imitate Joyce's Dubliner mood, and the action of which is recycled to better effect in his memoir. If you've liked H's other books, however, the simplicity of these stories, with Irish and German locales, will widen your appreciation of his themes of exile, alienation, and longing. He's a deceptively simple storyteller, and crafts his work well.
