Is é atá in Úlla bailiúchán de na gearrscéalta is fearr as an dá chnuasach Ding (1983) agus Banana (1999) – dhá dhuaisleabhar atá as cló anois – móide ábhar breise.
Tá a dhearcadh féin ag Mac Mathúna ar an saol agus is fada cáil idirnáisiúnta air mar cheardaí próis. Rogha scéalta le máistir ceirde, tuath agus cathair, greann agus daonnacht den scoth. Is fada aitheanta é mar mhórscríbhneoir Gaeilge, agus a shaothar ar fáil anois faoi chló nua.

Úlla is a selection of the best Mac Mathúna short stories written in Irish.
It includes material from his two major collections – Ding (1983) and Banana (1999) – both now out of print – and additional material.
The subversive nature of Mac Mathúna’s view of the world and the extraordinary quality of the writing have long been recognised internationally. Springing from both rural and urban situations, the unique quality of his authentic voice and idiosyncratic humour have educated and entertained two generations of readers in Irish.
This selection of short stories from a master storyteller represents a major contribution to European culture
