Antarctica, the debut volume of stories from Claire Keegan, introduces an exceptionally gifted and versatile writer.'Here really is an exciting first book of deliberate, contemplative short stories.The aesthetic here is always the appeal to the palpabilty of language itself. Suggestions of Heaney and Frost travel through the prose.' Observer
