This review is from: Walking the Dog: And Other Stories (Paperback)
Highly recommended story collection for anyone who likes spare, richly suggestive prose in the Carver-Hemingway-early McEwan vein. MacLaverty tells deeply evocative stories of ordinary people without any literary tricks or cheap bendings toward genre. He helps you understand what daily life is like in Ireland while thankfully avoiding Irish kitsch. In these empathetic stories, he creates characters whose fear, anger, doubt and general misgivings about life seldom cancel out caring for others. I'm new to MacLaverty having also just read his short(and also extraordinary)novel Lamb. I plan to read all his work.
