Brevity is unusually satisfying in Keegan's hands . . . Even in her earliest stories she is a superb stylist: every well-structured paragraph contains multitudes; at sentence level there is a febrile power to her word choices and rhythms . . . there is no overthinking or showing off. Instead, Keegan offers plausibility rooted in vivid details that generate a complex emotional authenticity. It is incredibly engrossing . . . Each brief work is worth the wait: Keegan is something special ― Sunday Times

Claire Keegan is known for Tardis-like narratives that are bigger on the inside . . . So Late in the Day illuminates misogyny across Irish society. ― Guardian

Quietly devastating . . . An understated cousin to Kristen Roupenian's dating horror, Cat Person. ― Observer

An exquisite new short story from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Small Things Like These and Foster.

'A genuine once-in-a-generation writer.'
 The Times

After an uneventful Friday at the Dublin office, Cathal faces into the long weekend and takes the bus home. There, his mind agitates over a woman named Sabine with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently. All evening, with only the television and a bottle of champagne for company, thoughts of this woman and others intrude - and the true significance of this particular date is revealed.

From one of the finest writers working today, Keegan's new story asks if a lack of generosity might ruin what could be between men and women.
