While it was evocative of rural life in 1930s Ireland, I found I couldn't develop any strong feelings for any of the characters. ( ) A work of fiction by the Monaghan poet, but rooted in his own upbringing. Tarry is stuck in a parish in Cavan, on a small farm with his mother and three sisters. Its an extremely funny book, as Tarry gets into endless squabbles with his neighbours and annoys the parish priest at every opportunity. He's also trying to impress the daughter of the local schoolteacher but spends a lot of his time trying to avoid the pleasures available from some of the other local caílin. At the same time, Tarry finds beauty in the 'stony soil' and there's some wonderfully evocative descriptions, as you'd expect from a master poet. I loved the dialogue in this as well, full of witticisms and country truths and wisdom. Was sad when I finished this, could have done with another few hundred pages of the same. Will be putting Kavanagh's other work, 'The green fool', on my reading list. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

'A man's mother can be a terrible burden sometimes'. For Terry Flynn - poet, farmer and lover-from-afar of beautiful young virgins - the responsibility of family, farm, poetic inspiration and his own unyielding lust is a heavy one. The only solution is to rise above it all - or escape over the nearest horizon. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
