In this month’s installment in the ongoing look at Dalkey Archive’s Irish Literature Series, Vince and Chad discuss The Dogs of Inishere by Alannah Hopkin, a short story collection from 2017. They talk about the short story form, the position of a collection in today’s marketplace, sequencing, aging, B. S. Johnson, and more.

The next book to be featured in this series is Transit by Bernard Share (September), followed by In Transit by Brigid Brophy (October).

This episode’s music is “If Time Was Kinder” by Arms and Sleepers & Sun Glitters.
