Mac an tSagairt (Irish Edition) by Micheál Ó Conghaile
This is the first collection of short stories by this writer who etches out a unique style of his own, providing honest and depressing pictures of the people of the West wrestling with personal problems – vocations, drink, old age, family relationships, abortion.
Eight unforgettable stories for and about teenagers, all of them set in modern-day Wales. Includes an Irish-English vocabulary for each story.
Ó Conghaile’s little pocket sized book is an examination of the proliferation of songwriters and songwriting in the Connemara Gaeltacht in recent years and how he views this, not as a chance occurrence empty of significance, but rather an important cultural development and reinforcement of a poetic tradition.
A 600-page cornucopia of contemporary writing in Irish across a broad range of genres, this book offers a selection of the best poetry, short stories, prose, songs, plays etc, published by Cló Iar-Chonnachta 1985-1995.
