Description

Contains such stories as "The Cornet-Player Who Betrayed Ireland", "Guests of the Nation", "A Story by Maupassant", and "First Confession".

Praised as Ireland's Chekhov, Frank O'Connor was a modern master of the short story. From an amateur brass band divided by partisanship to English soldiers who befriend their Irish captors, and from a child's comic confession to the end of a small-town friendship, these four humorous and tragic stories refract universal truths through the prism of 20th-century Ireland.
