I Am Lewy

I Am Lewy is a dazzling new translation from the Irish by poet Micheal O hAodha of Eoghan O Tuairisc's compelling, comic autobiographical novella, An Lomnochtan (1977). A market town in the west of Civil War Ireland comes alive through the alert eyes of Lewy, eldest of four children, as he navigates perils like the Nuns and the Workhouse.
