Product Description
Professor Robert Welch, University of Ulster
"It is outstanding; it carries the edge and volume of the original. Ciaran has gone deep into the mother lodes to get this extraordinary translation out. His impressive gifts, as a storyteller and a highly skilled poet, and wizard of language combine to re-create the fabulous urgency of the Celtic Iron Age."

Dermot Healy
"Ciaran Carson has kept a diary that goes way back, even before writing was invented. His Tain is a true oral rendering, with the Northern blas adding an extra irreverent punch to the story, and old air of the bull. As poet and prose writer, he echoes all your imagination strains to hear, and somehow lets the epic pass before your eyes, and ears, as if for the first time, again."
