Review
aCarsonas landmark translation, the first in forty years, brings this literary gem to life in a fresh, modern retelling that rivals Thomas Kinsellaas classic translation of 1969.a
a "Booklist aIn vivid prose Carson has harnessed . . . the taleas tremendous artistic power.aaIrish Voice
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."
