520    The prize-winning Irish short story writer and author of 
       the highly praised novel My Coney Island Baby delivers his
       most accomplished book of short fiction to date. Twelve 
       poignant, quietly dazzling and carefully crafted stories 
       that explore the resiliency of the human heart and its 
       ability to keep beating in the wake of bereavement, 
       violence, lost love, and incomparable trauma and grief. 
       Spanning a century and two continents, from the muddy 
       fields of Ireland to a hotel room in Paris, a dingy bar in
       Segovia to an airplane bound for Taipei, The Boatman and 
       Other Stories follows an unforgettable cast of characters.
       Three gunshots on the Irish border define the course of a 
       young man's life; a writer clings fast to a star-crossed 
       affair with a woman who has never been fully in his reach;
       a fisherman accustomed to hard labor rolls up his sleeves 
       to dig a grave for his child; a pair of newly-weds embark 
       on their first adventure, living wild on the deserted 
       Beginish Island. Ranging from the elegiac to the brutally 
       confrontational, these densely layered tales reveal the 
       quiet heroism and gentle dignity of ordinary life. Billy 
       O'Callaghan is a master celebrant of the smallness of the 
       human flame against the dark: its strength, and its steady
       brightness.
