Rebels and Other Short Fiction

Richard Power (1928-1970) was best known for his 1969 novel 'The Hungry Grass'.

While many of his stories were published in the literary journals of the day, his premature death prevented his work from gaining the fame it deserved.

Gathered together for the first time, Power's subtle and poignant stories capture the daily lives of urban and rural dwellers in Ireland at the turn of the twentieth century.
