| Frank O’Connor (1903-1966) was born into grinding poverty in the slums of the Irish City of Cork. He left school at 14 and was largely self-educated. He is generally regarded as one of the 20th century’s great short storywriters. His first collection, Guests of the Nation, appeared in 1931, to be followed by Bones of Contention in 1936, The Stories of Frank O’Connor, and some others.[详细] |
