Ionmholta malairt bhisigh, a dúirt an file fadó, agus an té a thabharfaidh faoin gcnuasach gearrscéalta seo ón Domhan Thíos, beidh siad ar intinn leis. Sa leabhar seo, an chéad chnuasach le Colin Ryan, cuirtear cor i nGaeilge na hÉireann lena chur in oiriúint do chúinsí na hAstráile. Déantar trách ar lucht taistil, ar choirpigh, ar shaighdiúirí, ar na mairbh, ar dhaoine a chuaigh amú, ar dhaoine atá ag cuardach daoine eile, nó a bhfuiltear sa tóir orthu féin. Mar a bheadh aisling ann, nó domhan osréalach éigin, déantar ionramháil ar théamaí ar nós an ghrá agus fhuatha, bás agus beatha, brón agus buairt ionas nach mbímid cinnte riamh cá seasaimid – agus níl de rogha againn ach na sárscéalta seo a léamh an athuair.
In this collection of short stories, Colin Ryan, an Irish-language writer from Australia, makes his own of the language and gives it a unique Australian twist. The stories touch on travellers, criminals, soldiers, the dead, people who have gone missing, people who are searching for others, and those who are being searched for. Like a dream, or a surreal alternate universe, themes of love and hatred are examined, life and death, sadness and anxiety, so that we are never really sure where we stand and our only option is to look again and revisit these perceptive stories.
