"Since the 1920s Finbar's Hotel has stood proudly on Dublins quays, but its glory days have long since passed it by. Now it is about to be torn down, but not until an astonishing array of guests - a barman on the make, a paranoid art thief stalking its corridors, a grieving woman who dreams of red-haired men, a desperate middle-aged man out for a wild fling - pass through for one last night. From room to room, and from tale to tale, Ireland's most famous storytellers take us through the extraordinary old building in a dazzling spin on Irish humor and drama at its best."--BOOK JACKET.
