Mìrtín Ó Cadhainœs irresistible and infamous novel The Dirty Dust is consistently ranked as the most important prose work in modern Irish, yet no translation for English-language readers has ever before been published. Alan Titleyœs vigorous new translation, full of the brio and guts of Ó Cadhainœs original, at last brings the pleasures of this great satiric novel to the far wider audience it deserves.
