Mike McCormack has contributed to two anthologies of Irish fiction. The Brandon Book of Irish Short Stories (1998) and Emerald Eye (2005) both feature his work alongside other Irish writers. These appearances reflect his standing in contemporary Irish literature.
The anthologies place McCormack in the context of Irish short fiction, a tradition he belongs to even as his own work pushes against its conventions. Both collections are good entry points for readers interested in the range of modern Irish writing.
