5.0 out of 5 stars
Very Potent Stuff, May 8, 2000
This review is from: The Man Who Dreamt of Lobsters: Stories (Hardcover)
Michael Collins' stories are not for the faint of heart, nor for the simple of mind. They are emotionally complex without being stylistically opaque. He finds good compromises between writerly and readerly concerns, between brutality and deftness, between sensitivity and senselessness. A wonderful collection from a fine writer whose work should receive the attention here in the U.S. that it has abroad.

This book is worth finding. Not a name you're going to hear thrown around a coffee house, but definately worth discovering and sharing. Collins short stories are rich, dynamic and interesting. One is handed a photograph of words in which the people of Ireland, and their culture, are placed in facinating situations. Not may know of this work, so be one of the few who do.
