Irish Literature
Claire Keegan’s novella expertly shows how the culture of idle talk in certain Irish communities is like a secret code — an intricate language that both obscures and reveals.
The critic settles too comfortably too often on a familiar trope — Ireland’s sense of promise squelched.
The Dirty Dust is a novel of almost unbelievable invention, humor, pathos, eloquence, and fury.
