My first introduction to Frank O'Connor was writing a term paper in graduate school, and after finishing I went out and bought a copy of this book. O'Connor is a master of the short story form, compared by some Chekov, and with Sean O'Faolain, another Irish author is acknowledged as such. This is a collection of the best of his short stories. "Guests of the Nation" is Ireland's answer to Elie Wiesel's Dawn. And they aren't all so serious. Take a look at "My Oedipus Complex"...well, not mine-you know what I mea.
