 &nbsp\;the selection is&nbsp\;</p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;"><em>A
  triptych of stories about love\, lust\, betrayal\, misogyny\, and the eve
 r-intriguing interchanges between women and men. Celebrated for her powerf
 ul short fiction\, Claire Keegan now gifts us three exquisite stories\, ne
 wly revised and expanded\, together forming a brilliant examination of gen
 der dynamics and an arc from Keegan&rsquo\;s earliest to her most recent w
 ork.</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;"><em>In &ldquo\;So Late in 
 the Day\,&rdquo\; Cathal faces a long weekend as his mind agitates over a 
 woman with whom he could have spent his life\, had he behaved differently.
 </em></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;"><em>In &ldquo\;The Long and Pa
 inful Death\,&rdquo\; a writer&rsquo\;s arrival at the seaside home of Hei
 nrich B&ouml\;ll for a residency is disrupted by an academic who imposes h
 is presence and opinions.</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;"><em>A
 nd in &ldquo\;Antarctica\,&rdquo\; a married woman travels out of town to 
 see what it&rsquo\;s like to sleep with another man and ends up in the gri
 p of a possessive stranger.&nbsp\;</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify
 \;"><em>Each story probes the dynamics that corrupt what could be between 
 women and a lack of generosity\, the weight of expectation\, the looming t
 hreat of violence. Potent\, charged\, and breathtakingly insightful\, thes
 e three essential tales will linger with readers long after the book is cl
 osed.</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><em>------------------</em
