The Philip Larkin I Knew traces the author's close friendship with the poet and stretches over his 30 year tenure of office as librarian of the University of Hull, taking in his literary achievements from "The Less Deceived" (1955), through "The Whitsun Weddings" (1964), to "High Windows" (1974). It reveals Larkin in a new light - courteous, compassionate, generous, and a man of deep sensitivity and charm - with a natural sense of fun and instinctive wit; in contrast to the gloomy and somewhat objectionable portrait that has emerged since his death.

In 1919, the fledgling Irish State sent envoys out into the world to represent the Irish people and assert our independent voice. Since then, Irish diplomats and their families have been inspired to give creative voice to their experiences. The arts of diplomacy and of writing are close companions – both appreciate the importance of words and the necessity of imagination. For things to happen we must first imagine them; this holds true for peace as much as poetry.This volume comprises a selection of personal, creative and unofficial writing by Irish diplomats and their families. Part of the Department of Foreign Affairs centenary programme, the collection is a tribute to the creative power of language and the imaginative bonds that connect us. We are all strangers – here, there and everywhere – but wherever we go, we also find ourselves among friends. Between these pages, encounter a century of familiar names and new companions.

'And at last Min was released from the duty she had imposed on herself, to remain with him as long as he needed her.'In the stories that compose this collection, Maeve Brennan turns her anatomist's eye to the ugly feelings that teem just beneath the surface of family life - doing so, however, with an attention to detail that makes these unsparing portraits luminous and exquisite. Brennan's subjects are ordinary people worn down by life, by its disappointments, its little humiliations. Yet they are also dreamers, defiantly hopeful of one day overstepping the narrow confines of the situations in which, unaccountably, they find themselves. These are stories that ache; pitting imagination against circumstance, they are at once claustrophobic and expansive, heartbreaking and miraculous. With a new introduction by acclaimed novelist Claire-Louise Bennett, The Springs of Affection reveals Maeve Brennan to be one of the 20th century's most innovative and important writers.

In these delightful, melancholy prose sketches Maeve Brennan goes in pursuit of the ordinary, taking us on a tour of the cheap hotels, unassuming restaurants, and crowded streets of New York City. Brennan presents herself as the long-winded lady, solitary wanderer and wry observer of the human comedy. Whether she is riding the subway, failing to eat broccoli in a deserted restaurant, or watching lovers quarrel in Washington Square, Brennan manages to capture the wavering spectacle of the metropolis with an uncanny precision that makes these slight essays at once hallucinatory and hyperreal. Originally written for The New Yorker between 1954 and 1981 and presented here in full with a new introduction by Sinéad Gleeson, these pieces reveal Maeve Brennan to be one of the twentieth century’s most accomplished documentarians of city life, and one of its finest essayists.

Following the death of her mother, twenty-two-year-old Anastasia King leaves Paris to return to Dublin. In the time that she has been away, her estranged father has died. On arriving to her family home, Anastasia is met by her paternal grandmother, who, filled with bitterness and spite, has determined never to forgive Anastasia for fleeing with her mother. As her days fill up with little humiliations, it becomes clear that, while Anastasia thinks she has come home to stay, for the vengeful Mrs King she is an unwelcome visitor. Written while Brennan was still in her twenties, this novella is a masterpiece of compression, a terse and haunting account of the personal and political factors that impinge on a young woman's freedom. Presented here with a new introduction by Lynne Tillman, The Visitor seals Maeve Brennan's reputation as one of the twentieth century's finest writers, and one of its most unflinching documentarians of the human heart.

Lo mejor de una autora inmensa, admirada por William Maxwell, Alice Munro, John Updike o Edna O'Brien.Maeve Brennan es una de las escritoras más relevantes del siglo xx y De Dublín a Nueva York es la reunión de su mejor obra literaria. De los relatos dublineses a las crónicas de Nueva York, de la ficción a la verdad, y como en su propia vida (nació en Dublín y murió en Nueva York) de Irlanda a Estados Unidos. El abanico del abrumante talento de Brennan abarca desde la autoficción hasta los relatos lacerantes que desmenuzan las miserias burguesas. Están también sus célebres crónicas neoyorquinas hechas de pequeñas historias que nos dan una mirada nueva, certera y aguda de la ciudad.Considerada una de las voces más brillantes de las letras inglesas por la Premio Nobel de Literatura Alice Munro, este libro es una reivindicación del ojo clínico y de la capacidad de disección de una escritora de una genialidad inacabable."Sus relatos, atemporales, demuestran una forma de mirar el mundo que tan pronto se muestra divertida como irónica o reflexiva."Público"La autora se las arregla para transmitir la vulnerabilidad, los miedos, la desesperación y el sentimiento de soledad que afectan a todos los personajes, pero que alcanzan cotas de asombrosa clarividencia y complicidad cuando se trata de mujeres."Javier Fernández de Castro
