Recenzii

An affecting compendium of short stories centred on the theme of nudity and sensuality is the latest offering from Dublin-born poet and author Nuala Ni Chonchuir. The focus of these stories is not of a sexual nature; Ni Chonchuir emphasises the normality of life and, on occasion, the suggestive yearning of couples in thrall to each other, but rarely anything more daring. Her tales are complemented by varying backdrops -- from the sultry heat of Barcelona to Parisian walkways -- and, throughout, by fluid and descriptive prose: "The sea, the sea. It's as huge as the sky… it's dark like thunderclouds, as dangerous as war." The stories featured here are generally no more than a couple of pages in length; it is a testament to Ni Chonchuir's ability that, even allowing for such brevity, Nude is still a success. -- Fachtna Kelly and Julian Fleming
