'What makes this different from other anthologies is that Sinead is attempting to expand the canon of the Irish short story, it's full of marginalised and forgotten voices, women, LGBT writers, forgotten 19th-century voices' Clare Byrne, RTE Radio.
'The Art of the Glimpse will deservedly be under many a Christmas tree this December' Irish Independent.
'[A] comprehensive collection, giving voice to the forgotten or overlooked alongside the famous and familiar ... Brilliant' Daily Mail.
'Gleeson radically reimagines the canon of the Irish short story, from the classic and familiar to the urgent and contemporary, bringing historically marginalised stories from LGBTQ+ community, women, travellers, and Black writers to the forefront ... Here, she curates an ambitious, joyous representation of the beloved traditional form' Dazed.
'From famous names to forgotten voices, a gloriously varied collection revitalises the Irish Canon ... There's a story of every mood and shade of weather in this vast collection ... That's the impressive thing about this comprehensive collection: there's poison and antidote, with abject hopelessness tempered by hope' Guardian.
'Sinead Gleeson's latest anthology is a call for the realignment of the Irish literary canon as she presents her vision of new and established voices sitting comfortably side by side ... This collection is an important example of the ease through which the voices of women, BIPOC, and LGBT communities can be integrated into the Irish story which has so often been dominated by male narratives ... The sheer variety of the styles and genres included in this anthology ensure it caters to many different tastes and readers will return to many of the stories again and again. The Art of the Glimpse is certainly one book to add to your Christmas wish-list'RTE.
