FRANK O'CONNOR THE GENIUS A Penguin Archive

Known as Ireland's Chekhov, Frank O'Connor was a master of the modern short story, with an eye for capturing the spaces between ourselves and our surroundings. The Genius brings together some of his very best stories, often told from the perspective of young children and forming a revealing portrait of coming of age in post-war Ireland. Humorous and poignant in equal parts, these stories are a lesson in craft from a celebrated, prolific author.
