Irish Fiction

A riveting English translation the Irish classic tale of heartache, death, and loneliness by the beloved author of The Dirty Dust.

A collection of the finest stories from the Irish author of The Dirty Dust, published fifty years after his death

This is Colm O Ceallachain's first collection of short stories. Here we meet young and old, struggling with the tribulations of life. The characters in this collection are growing up and coming of age, but they are slipping into oblivion too, through the forgetful fog of old age and delirium.

Inspired by a real border and a real political crisis. Brian McKee is a widowed farmer, still farming his beef and dairy herds on his farm that straddles the border between Monaghan and Fermanagh. This is no ordinary border, and these are no ordinary times. One part of Brian’s farm is in the Republic of Ireland, and the other in Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom.

Eight short stories (in Irish) which deal with themes of tragic love, jealousy, betrayal and displacement.
