“The characters in The Man from Kinvara are men, women, and
children who observe the world in terms of story, which is to say, they view
themselves, and others, as part of a larger meaningful narrative. The stories
are rife with generosity or compassion, and the characters possess great
sentiments without the residue of sentimentality, and possess also a curious,
uncommon dignity, operating with a worldview that relies upon hope as its fuel.”

“[Gallagher’s] stories are very
quiet and warm, and, at the same time, earthy and emotional.”
