This book is an important book on the work of Brian Uí Nualláin, a book that examines and explores what has been written about Nuallánáin anew, and adds to that new information that has come to light since the biographies and other research works about him were written.

A meticulous and discerning biographer

This book is a magnificent piece of research. Obviously, Brian Ó Conchubhair has read and absorbed everything by or about Brian Ó Nualláin – books, articles, official records, archival material, and more. Aa a meticulous and discerning biographer, he has unearthed a good deal of new information about Ó Nualláin’s life and work.

Central to the Conversation

But, perhaps even more important, he provides contexts for all the factual information that enable readers to get a broader and deeper understanding of the man himself – familial, literary, medical, occupational with regard to his work as a journalist and senior civil servant. And there are more. There can be no doubt that when Myles’s life and work are discussed in future this book will be central to that conversation.
