Man Booker winner Anne Enright's dazzling first collection of short stories, reissued in a beautiful new series style

Discover Man Booker Prize winner Anne Enright's first collection of short stories.

'Elegant, scrupulously poised, always intelligent and, not least, original' Angela Carter

The characters in Anne Enright's fierce and witty first collection of stories stand at an oblique angle to society. Full of desire, but out of kilter, their response to a dislocated reality is mutinous, wild, unforgettable.

'Quirky, subversive, original wit and an imaginative linguistic fluency' Irish Times

Reviews for The Portable Virgin

As cool and clear-headed as the moment a migraine lifts, these pained, precise, disquieting stories restore to us the strangeness of the lives we follow beneath the surface of the lives we lead... A remarkable debut. -- Aidan Matthews <br> Elegant, scrupulously poised, always intelligent and, not least, original. -- Angela Carter
