| Synopsis: |
This work offers previously unpublished stories by Peig Sayers that the State censored from the Irish public. Severely 'edited' by the cultural powers that formed and built the new Irish state, "Peig" was a compulsory text on the Irish Leaving Certificate exams for generations of schoolgoers. But there was a lot more to "Peig" than tales of poverty and hardship - in this selection of previously unpublished stories, a new, earthier, funnier and more dramatic storyteller emerges. Based on RTAe, UCD and BBC archives, and translated by UCD's Bo Almqvist and Padraig O' Healai, Ireland's leading experts on "Peig", the book includes CDs with archived recordings of Peig telling these stories, and is published in a dual-language edition. |
