Sna Fir

by Micheál Ó Conghaile

Overview

Scéal duine atá anseo; scéal guairneánach a bhainfeas suaitheadh asat. Aistear atá ann, aistear buachalla bháin a théann i gceann an tsaoil agus a imíonn le haer an bhaile mhóir. Cuntas é ar theacht in inmhe; ar fhéincheistiú, ar fhionnachtain, agus ar athnuachan; ar ghrá agus ar ghníomh in am an bhearrtha agus in aois na céille. Beatha dhuine a thoil. Toil an té seo a bheatha . . . sna fir.

A whirlwind account of the journey of a Connemara student, young, gay and determined in his quest for happiness and peace of mind; an ever-returning journey from the comfort and security of his family home to the blissful danger of the city.
