A Close Shave With The Devil by Ena May
Ena Mays post-Emergency Dublin is at once recognizable and utterly unlike all previous literary versions of the city. A Close Shave with the Devil, fables of adults at play in a childs world, is a tour de force of storytelling, and a remarkable debut collection.‘Magical fiction – these times past move at a racy pace and scrutinise an all-but-departed Dublin’ – Jim Clarke, Sunday Independent ‘Very refreshing and thoroughly hilarious – Her stories wonderfully evoke the atmosphere of postwar Dublin.’ – Basil Miller, The Sunday Business Post ‘A wonderfully written book, full of rich subplots – exquisite, entertaining and engrossing.’ – The Event Guide
ENA MAY is a Dublin actress, playwright and director. Her one-act ‘Out of the Beehive’was appraised by Fintan O’Toole as ‘flawless’ with ‘a wicked sense of humour and wonderful sense of absurdity which mark an individual voice’. Her other theatrical works include ‘She’s your Mother Too, You Know!’, which played successfully at the 1986 Dublin Theatre Festival, and ‘Love Lust and the Lack of It’, an adaptation of Aristophanes’ ‘Lysistrata’.
