Oidhre na Priaireachta
Mícheál Ó Siochrú
Coisceim 1988

Teip, crá, dóchas, teitheadh, drabhlás agus uaigneas bunúsach an imirceora – ógánach ó Uíbh Ráthach san úrscéal seo ó pheann Mhíchíl Uí Shiochrú, scríbhneoir ón gceantar céanna ar tháinig cnuasach filíochta, Gealach na gCoinlíní, uaidh i 1985. Feictear Londain anseo trí shúile an imirceora, an briseadh croí laistiar den gháire agus cora crua an tsaoil á rianadh go cumasach – saol an imirceora atá ag éirí coitianta arís i measc cine Gael.

Failure, suffering, hope, flight, dissipation and the basic loneliness of the emigrant – a young lad from Iveragh in this novel – from the pen of Micheál Ó Siochrú, a writer from the same area whose first collection of poetry, Gealach na gCoinlíní, was published in 1985. London is seen through an emigrant’s eyes, the heartbreak behind the laughter – and the hard knocks of a life that more and more young Irish people seem set to endure.
