The White Heat
A memoir from Gaelic football legend Tomas O Se, this is an exploration of what it means to eat, sleep, and bleed Gaelic Games. With color plates.
The Islandman
This book concerns Tomás O'Crohan of the Blasket Islands and offers a radical reinterpretation of this iconic Irish figure and his place in Gaelic literature. It examines the politics of Irish culture that turned O'Crohan into «The Islandman» and harnessed his texts to the national political project, presenting him as an instinctual, natural hero and a naïve, almost unwilling writer, and his texts as artefacts of unselfconscious, unmediated linguistic and ethnographic authenticity.

Island Cross-talk
Island Cross-Talk, first published in 1928, was the first book to come out of the Blasket Islands, that remote, tiny community off the West Kerry coast speaking a dying language. In these pages from his diary, Ó'Crohan jotted down snatches of conversation, anecdotes, descriptions of the landscape and the sea.
The Islandman
Tomas O'Crohan's sole purpose in writing The Islandman was, he wrote, "to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the like of us will never be seen again." This is an absorbing narrative of a now-vanished way of life, written by one who had known no other.
The Wild Rover
This is a translation of an autobiography by Tomas O'Cinneide, first published as Ar Seachran in 1982. He was born in Graigue, at the end of the Dingle peninsula, in 1914. He was in his time a clerical student, an army officer, a teacher of Gaelic, a postman, an American emigrant, a factory worker in San Francisco, a library sweeper, a down-and-out in Skid Row and a seanchai.
