He died in 2015 at home in Donegal.
A solid gold treat from top to tail. A tremendous set of stories by the great Irish playwright -- John Self * The Observer * There is a touch of spring about this collection and I find myself curiously helpless in front of them. The funny stories are a complete joy. The serious stories are concerned with the subtlest nuances of human emotions and relations which can neither be described nor directly expressed * The Irish Times * Some of the best stories ever written. They are everything short stories should be – deft, skilfully written, funny and quite often breathlessly sad -- Edna O’Brien Like Chekhov, Friel proved himself a rare master of both drama and short fiction. * The Spectator * As natural and as beautiful as you can imagine... full of vitality, full of life -- Kevin Barry, author of Night Boat to Tangier
