From the back cover:
What I love about this collection is that it catches perfectly that special sense of rural Ireland which might be described as a mixture of raw satirical humour, tragedy, and a kind of yearning for love and connection in a society that feels a constant tension between materialism and spirituality At the Edge of the Western Wave is a big and sweeping enough collection to be able to accommodate these themes and their nuances: I'm constantly amazed at the way in which Reyes can present a small detail - a shop-front, a "wink" of light, an Hiberno-English phrase, a name, a placename - and evoke a whole way of life.
