Anthologisation and Irish Short Fiction: Magnitudes of Telling (Routledge Studies in Irish Literature)
by Paul DelaneyThis original new study explores the recent flowering of short fiction in Ireland, analysing the production, dissemination, and reception of the short form in the twenty-first century, and reading contemporary short stories in their many configurations and guises. This volume covers twenty-five years of Irish writing, beginning in late 1997 with the establishment of the innovative literary periodical The Stinging Fly, and concludes in 2022. The book is structured in five parts, with each part focusing on a particular mode of publication: periodicals, single-author volumes, short-story cycles, edited anthologies, and small or independent presses. Each part includes a series of case studies while also engaging with a diverse range of short-story criticism and theory, both comparative and Irish-centered. Anthologisation and Irish Short Fiction brings different writers at distinct stages of their careers into conversation, and This volume aims to illuminate the contemporaneous value of this body of work, its innovative and varied use, and the diversity of its practice. Particular attention is also shown to the fluidity of the short form, to its capacity to disrupt and arrest, and to its progressive, writerly potential.

Anthology 1: The Romantic Comedies (Sexy Stranger Standalones #5)
by DR LoveAnthology 1: The Romantic Comedies of D.R. Love: Afternoon Delight, Eating Velvet, and Junk Welcome to the world created by Award-winning Author and Filmmaker Kailin Gow and her character Author D.R. Love, on the soon-to-air comedy series, Author A Parody, based on the multi-award-winning film Author A Parody, where all the author characters actually have real books. From D.R. Love comes the romantic comedies: AFTERNOON DELIGHT New tea house owner Emily Jenkins' trip to England to attend an expert course on Afternoon Teas couldn't have turned out more different than she expected. The stuffy old tea master Mr. Smith Harold was ill, and in his place was his much too handsome and charming son, Gerard Harold, the celeb owner of the trendiest new tea and coffee company, Afternoon Delight, to teach the course. The attraction was instant, but can this refined American tea lover blend into Gerard Harold's fast-paced exciting celebrity life? EATING VELVET On Valentine's Day, a mysterious man orders 50 red velvet cupcakes individually boxed to be sent to 50 different women from Velvet's Bakery, and Velvet is convinced this man is the biggest player. The man with the velvety smooth almost hypnotic voice instantly captivates Velvet's every thoughts. A workaholic and a perfectionist, Velvet realized she haven't thought about going out on a date for Valentine's Day in years. Suddenly, player or not, this Mr. Red Velvet cupcakes seem like the kind of date who could jumpstart her non-existing love life...only Mr. Red Velvet is not at all what he seems, and Velvet is in for the biggest surprise in her life. JUNK The old abandoned airplane hangar at the end of town near my parents' farm has a new owner. He's a big guy. Tall, blond, light blue eyes, almost grey, rimmed by black; and the most muscular tanned body I've seen up close without a shirt. Ran into him when I was delivering groceries to my parents one day. What could a man like him want with a huge hangar like that one? My parents said he's remodeling it into some kind of factory. But I'm suspecting something else. Maybe I've read too many mystery novels and watched too many spy films, but this man is not what my parents think he is. I know because when I accidentally ran into him coming out of the hangar, with his shirt off, dripping in sweat and looking like a giant Adonis in the sunlight, I caught a glimpse of what was in the hangar, and it wasn't machinery. It was something else. Parts, even whole ones. Planes, ships, and even rockets. A sea of old junk. He drives a new Bentley, wears a Cartier on his wrist, and seems to have an European accent. What was a man like him doing with a hangar full of junk, near my parents' house, I don't know. But I'm about to find out. Because not only did I see old planes, ships, and rockets; I saw a few tanks, cannons, and even missiles. Having missiles like that near my parents is too close for comfort, and I plan on getting close to Mr. Junk to find out. These Romantic Comedies are for Adults due to Mature Subjects
