So Late in the Day

Claire Keegan

Small refusals and narrowing lives, in stories where what is withheld carries the weight.

Claire Keegan’s stories turn on small refusals and the moment a life narrows. The title story follows a Dublin man through the day his wedding should have happened, and Keegan’s economy does the rest: what is withheld carries more weight than what is said.

My monthly read for May is So Late In The Day by Irish writer Claire Keegan. Her stories are small gems: deceptively short, but they carry the heft of a great novel.
