Brian Friel

    9 januari 1929 – 2 oktober 2015

    Brian Friel, een Ierse toneelschrijver en regisseur, wordt geprezen om zijn werken die zich verdiepen in de Ierse identiteit en geschiedenis. Zijn toneelstukken onderscheiden zich door hun poëtische taal, complexe personages en diepgaande verkenningen van herinnering en verlies. Friel's benadering van schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door een scherpe observatie van de menselijke natuur en een onwrikbare interesse in hoe het verleden het heden vormt. Zijn innovatieve dramatische bijdragen hebben een onuitwisbare indruk achtergelaten op het moderne theater.

      Exploring mid-century Irish life, this collection showcases Brian Friel's masterful storytelling through a series of vivid short stories. Each narrative captures the essence of beauty, struggle, and discovery, from the haunting drowning in Lough Keeragh to the camaraderie of potato gatherers in County Tyrone. Friel's uncanny ability to reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary shines through, making these tales both humorous and profoundly moving. Renowned author Edna O'Brien praises them as exemplary short stories, deftly blending skill and emotion.
