About “The Irish Goodbye: Micro-Memoirs”

A new, genre–defying volume that explores family, marriage, motherhood,  place, and coming of age with singular wit and emotional clarity.

What can we learn from an ordinary life observed with extraordinary skill? In The Irish Goodbye,  Beth Ann Fennelly writes of the small moments that shape a life,  whether moving or perplexing or troubling or gladdening, in the process  dignifying the diminutive through the act of attention. Fennelly  explores her roles as a friend, wife, mother, and daughter, documenting a  brush with an old flame or the devastating death of her sister in  crystalline, precise sentences.

The longer essays  concern Fennelly’s relationships―with a beloved mother-in-law, a  decades-long friendship between five former college roommates, an artist  who paints a series of nude portraits in Fennelly’s town, for which she  poses. Interspersed between these longer memoirs are sections of flash  nonfiction, a form Fennelly innovated in the genre-defying Heating &amp; Cooling.  With dazzling verve and wit, they capture the interstitial  interactions―encounters with strangers, quirky observations, unexpected  flights of fancy―that make up a richly lived life.

The Irish Goodbye offers a rare pleasure: intimacy. With emotional clarity and nimble prose, Fennelly invites readers to share her affirming worldview―one in which even our smallest interactions are rife with possibility.
