Annotation

Tim Johnston's IRISH GIRL earned its publication as the 2009 winner of the Katherine Anne Porter Prize for short fiction. Johnston contrasts the churning turbulence of his characters' contemplation with the exterior austerity of dreary Midwest landscapes in these evocative short stories. In "Things Go Missing," a woman uses petty burglary to transform the regret of others into her own perverse sense of satisfaction. Another standout story is "Dirt Men," which portrays how the haughty illusions of a failed college professor, now relegated to running his father's junkyard, are shredded by the discovery of a dismembered corpse among the wreckage.

Inside Tim Johnston's "Irish Girl," readers will find spellbinding stories of loss, absence, and the devastating effects of chance--of what happens when the unthinkable bad luck of other people, of other towns, becomes our bad luck, our town. Taut, lucid, and engrossing, provocative and dark--and often darkly funny--these stories have much to offer the lover of literary fiction as well as the reader who just loves a great story.
