Stories set in Ireland, Slovenia, Slovakia, and India, penetrating stories woven out of Gabriel Rosenstock's own fantastic worlds, some newly translated from the Irish, others appearing in English for the first time. "The Partisan and other stories" has a stunning range of moods, styles, voices and themes - from the quirky and mirth-provoking to the magically lyrical - all inviting the reader to engage in an entrancing and pas-sionate conversation about the nature of reality.
