Anne Enright's Ireland

The lead essay in the fiction section of the current issue of the Times Literary Supplement is written by Keith Hopper, a Lecturer at the University of Oxford and at St. Clare's.

His essay reviews in depth The Granta Book of the Irish Short Story edited by Man Booker Prizewinning novelist Anne Enright. Keith looks at the new anthology and explores the mystery of why the Irish excel at writing short stories.

Keith teaches Literature and Film Studies for Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education. He is the general editor of the Ireland into Film series (2001–7) and the author of Flann O'Brien: A portrait of the artist as a young post-modernist, the revised edition of which appeared last year.
