Máirtín Ó Cadhain reviews

       The most recent additions to the complete review are my reviews of two works by Irish (and Irish-writing) author Máirtín Ó Cadhain:

• The Dirty Dust -- the first translation of his 1949 classic, Cré na Cille, just out from Yale University Press, in their wonderful Margellos World Republic of Letters-series
  
  
• The Key / An Eochair -- a bilingual (hurrah !) edition of his story, forthcoming from Dalkey Archive Press

       All of a sudden Ó Cadhain is hot ! And with a premise like that of The Dirty Dust (and writing like that found in both of these ...) little wonder. (Well, except: what took so long ?)
       Admirably, too, Yale UP/Margellos World Republic of Letters has another translation of the novel planned for 2016, a "special annotated edition": Graveyard Clay: Cré na Cille, translated by Liam Mac Con Iomaire and Tim Robinson.
