    About this ebook

    A literary eventtwenty short stories by the late Maeve Brennan, one of The new Yorker's most admired writers. Five are set in the author's native Dublin, a city, like Joyce's, of paralyzed souls and unexpressed love. the others are set in and around her adopted Manhattan, which she once called "the capsized cityhalf-capsized, anyway, with the inhabitants hanging on, most of them still able to laugh as they cling to the island that is their life's predicament." Some of the stories are quietly tender, some ferociously satirical, some unique in their chilly emotional weather. All are Maeve Brennan at her incomparable best.

      Beloved Abodes

      The first time I drove past my Victorian lady on a quiet tree-lined street in rural New England, my heart skipped a beat. I turned the car around immediately. It was 350 miles north of Baltimore, where I lived and worked, but I had been secretly long
