Leabhar tábhachtach ar shaothar Bhriain Uí Nualláin atá sa saothar seo, leabhar a thugann faoina bhfuil scríofa faoin Nuallánach a scrúdú agus a iniúchadh as an nua, agus a chuireann leis sin eolas úr atá tagtha chun solais ó scríobhadh na beathaisnéisí agus na saothar taighde eile faoi.

Éacht oibre is ea an leabhar seo. Is léir go bhfuil gach a bhfuil le léamh faoi Bhrian Ó Nualláin i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla léite ag Brian Ó Conchubhair – leabhair, aistí, litreacha, taifid oifigiúla, ábhar i gcartlanna srl. Is beathaisnéisí caidéiseach géarchúiseach Ó Conchubhair, a sholáthraíonn  a lán firicí nua faoi shaol agus shaothar Uí Nualláin.

This book is a magnificent piece of research. Obviously, Brian Ó Conchubhair has read and absorbed everything by or about Brian Ó Nualláin – books, articles, official records, archival material, and more. Aa a meticulous and discerning biographer, he has unearthed a good deal of new information about Ó Nualláin’s life and work, but, perhaps even more important, he provides contexts for all the factual information that enable readers to get a broader and deeper understanding of the man himself – familial, literary, medical, occupational with regard to his work as a journalist and senior civil servant. And there are more. There can be no doubt that when Myles’s life and work are discussed in future this book will be central to that conversation.
