Synopsis
In November 1968, at the age of twenty-two, Andrew McNeillie left his job and his girlfriend in Wales and traveled to Inishmore, one of the isolated Aran Islands off the Atlantic coast of Ireland. He was not a tourist; he stayed eleven months on Inishmore, living alone in a tiny house. An Aran Keening is a limpidly written memoir of that time, a celebration of the island and its people, a lament for a way of life that was infused with a deep sadness then and has vanished altogether now.

À propos de l?auteur
Andrew McNeillie was born in North Wales. He was Literature Editor at OUP for five years until May 2009 when Exeter University made him a Professor in their English Department, based at the university's campus in Cornwall. This appointment centers round the magazine Archipelago, founded in 2007. His first collection of poems Nevermore (2000), in the Oxford Poets series from Carcanet, was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. His memoir An Aran Keening tells of his stay on Inis Mór, just short of a year through 1968-69. It was published in 2001 by the Lilliput Press and in 2002 in the USA by the University of Wisconsin Press. A celebratory anthology, Archipelago: A Reader (2021), was published by the Lilliput Press.

Paperback. Etat : New. To Aran, I tells how a young man from north Wales found the means to give shape a youthful dream of going to live on Inis Mór, an adventure recorded in his acclaimed first memoir An Aran Keening. This beautiful, high-spirited story blends moments of high farce, poetry and serious social observation, as the young McNeillie - a self-described 'quare fellow' - pursues his dream with a kind of fatalistic abandonment. Down but not quite out, he works his way towards Aran - first as a local news reporter on £5 a week in mining towns and villages in the Amman Valley in Wales. From there, he washes up in a condemned property at Waterloo on the Mersey shore in outer Liverpool and finally, aged twenty-one, finds himself in central London and the BBC's Radio Newsroom at Broadcasting House. After amassing enough money to keep him afloat on Inis Mór for a year, he sets out and, at the end of October 1968, he waved goodbye to a highly promising career, his colleagues, friends and even to his future wife: all to fulfil a dream he had when sixteen, first looking into J.M. Synge's The Aran Islands, as if it was Chapman's Homer and he John Keats. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781843519195
