  2. 2. Грязь кладбищенская

    Cover of 'Грязь кладбищенская' by Máirtin Ó Cadhain

    A novel set in a Connemara graveyard where the dead continue their petty feuds, gossip and rivalries: through sharp, overlapping voices speaking from the soil the book exposes the hypocrisies, passions and social tensions of a rural community, using dark humour, brutal satire and linguistic inventiveness to assemble a chorus of memories and grudges that together form an incisive, surreal portrait of life (and identity) after death.
