Alan Titley
The Dirty Dust: Cré na Cille
Sunday, April 23 | 5:30 PM
Máirtín Ó Cadhain’s début novel, Cré na Cille (Churchyard Clay), has been hailed as the greatest novel to be written in the Irish language. But for almost seventy years, it remained untranslated into English. Novelist, playwright, and scholar Alan Titley’s vigorous new translation, full of the brio and guts of Ó Cadhain’s original, at last brings the pleasures of this great satirical novel to the far wider audience it deserves.
