The Irish Literary Society are proud to invite Sinéad Gleeson and Lucy Caldwell to discuss the new anthology of Irish women’s short stories, The Long Gaze Back at the Bloomsbury Hotel in London. The anthology is an exhilarating anthology of thirty short stories by some of the most gifted women writers Ireland has ever produced. Taken together, the collected works of these writers reveal an enrapturing, unnerving, and piercingly beautiful mosaic of a lively literary landscape. Spanning four centuries, The Long Gaze Back features eight rare stories from deceased luminaries and forerunners, and 22 new unpublished stories by some of the most talented Irish women writers working today. The anthology presents an inclusive and celebratory portrait of the high calibre of contemporary literature in Ireland.
