Fourfront: Contemporary Stories Translated from the Irish

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O. Conghaile, Micheal / Titley, Alan / Breathnach, Padraic, PUBLISHER: Clo Iar-Chonnachta, Despite the richness of the short story in Irish literature, there remains a relative absence of stories translated from the Irish. This collection of stories aims to help fill this gap. Micheal O Conghaile is one of Ireland's foremost contemporary Irish-language prose writers. His stories are filled with dissidents and rebels, protagonists who find themselves suddenly revealed as "errata" in someone else's master narrative. Padraic Breathnach is probably the most prolific short story writer in Irish, with over 150. The four included here show isolated individuals struggling against inherited authority structures, and they may tell us more than any sociologist about the destiny of community. He is glorious and unmatched in his depiction of decay, the decay of social, cultural, and moral fabrics, of landscape and mind gone to seed. Dara O Conaola's stories share a real generic affinity with that other favored form of Gaelic tradition, the lyric poem. His stories are full of wonder and imagination. Lastly, Alan Titley is probably best known as a novelist. Politically, his stories probably represent a more radical, subversive side, while his language reveals a linguistic virtuosity that verges on the carnivalesque.

Out of Order: Stories from the History of the Supreme Court

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “I called this book Out of Order because it reflects my goal,which is to share a different side of the Supreme Court. Most people know the Court only as it exists between bangs of the gavel,when the Court comes to order to hear arguments or give opinions. But the stories of the Court and the Justices that come from the ‘out of order’ moments add to the richness of the Court as both a branch of our government and a human institution.”—Justice Sandra Day O’C

In this good-humored and affectionate portrayal, author and photographer Mark Thomson peers into the gloom, past the dartboard, the beer fridge, and the piles of timber offcuts, to discover what really goes on between a bloke and his shed
