Creatures of the Earth
Author(s): John McGahern
McGahern's command of the short story places him among the finest practitioners of the form, in a lineage that runs from Chekhov through Joyce and the Anglo-American masters. When the collection was first published in 1992, the "Sunday Times" said 'there is a vivid pleasure to be had in the reading of these stories,' while for Cressida Connolly in the "Evening Standard"'these wonderful stories are sad and true... McGahern is undoubtedly a great short story writer.' Many of the stories here are already classics: "Gold Watch", "High Ground" and "Parachutes", among others.
