What to Put in a Suitcase Liz McSkeane
Paperback: Short fiction 148 pages
ISBN 9781913598372
These sixteen stories follow a cast of characters destined to navigate a rich variety of situations that are by turns perplexing, stimulating, threatening: a suburban dinner party whose hosts harbour a troubling secret; a childhood prank in 1940s Dublin with tragic consequences; a family fleeing environmental disaster in a Dublin of the near future. Engaged with both the minutiae of thought processes and the impulse to action, these stories grapple with individual psychology and with wider themes of justice and the place of individual in contemporary society, at times seasoned with a sly humour. An intriguing and compelling collection.
