1. A Slanting Of The Sun
Donal Ryan's short stories continue themes from his novels The Spinning Heart and The Thing About December, exploring dramas set in motion by loneliness and displacement. They show ordinary and fateful encounters where people cling to one another, including an old man and a burglar left to guard him and a young man and the mother of a girl he caused to die in a crash. Some stories involve emigration or immigration, such as an Irish priest in Syria and an African refugee in Ireland.
