Shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year Like Dubliners, if Dubliners were "Cat Person" as a feminist mock-epic about a writer's coming of age--and every Dubliner was named Margaret. A woman pursues a man who cut ahead of her in a line. Two nice people report that a child is being left unsupervised at a local beach. Romances, old and new, shift and sour. Following Maggie Armstrong's intrepid hero, Margaret, through first love, first bad date, first job, first extremely bad date, and on into midlife and its attendant disillusionment--and surprising revelations--Old Romantics is an acutely observed and hideously entertaining collection of linked short stories from an astonishing new talent. Slippery, flawed, and acute, Armstrong's narrator navigates a world of awkward expectation and latent hostility with piercing insight into the trials and tribulations of attempting to be human while female.
