Sionnach ar mo Dhuán

Is fada bheas trácht liteartha ar eachtraí ‘ laoch’ an úrscéal seo, an ceann is deireanaí ó pheann clúiteach Bhreandáin Uí hEithir, Piaras Mac Con Mí – oirfideach a chaitheann a shaol agus é ag iarraidh a éalú ón leagan amach réabhlóideach atá ceaptha dó ag a athair, poblachtánach den seandhéanamh. Tá greann agus uafás neamhghnách san úrscéal seo agus fógraíonn a stíl ealaíonta próis, idir chomhrá agus scéalaíocht, atá chomh dea-scríofa sin, go bhfuil leabhar clasaiceach de chuid na Nua-Ghaeilge ar an bhfód.
The ‘hero’ of this latest novel from the distinguished pen of Breandán Ó hEithir, one Piaras Mac Con Mí – whose life is spent devising schemes to escape the revolutionary career planned for him by his hardline Republican father – is certain to be the subject of literary debate for a long time to come. Humorous – or horrific – events are presented with the masterly Ó hEithir touch, but its elegant prose alone ensures a place for ‘Sionnach ar mo Dhuán’ among the classics of Modern Irish.
