Where Have You Been? is award-winning novelist Joseph O'Connor's first collection of short stories in more than 20 years. Ranging from urgently contemporary London and Dublin to New York's Lower East Side in the 19th century, from dark comedy to poignancy, from the wryly provocative to the quietly beautiful, these stories offer a gathering of dreamers and lost souls who contend with the confusions of living. Here are men without women, children parenting parents, residents of the uncertain country that is post-boom Ireland, emigrants, travellers, cheats and lovers, families, friends, and foes.
Where Have You Been? Is a powerfully moving, entertaining and life-affirming listen, from the internationally acclaimed author of Star of the Sea, Redemption Falls and Ghost Light.
