Niall doing some short vids & the Arcadia Bookclub on youtube went well.

Then we touched on Irish storytelling (see below), #Peig, & #SeamusHeaney reading a poem which has me doubting he's ever been married #Scaffolding. Or perhaps he aimed to preserve the mystery of the holy union by not revealing all?

A very poor choice for teenagers. The book is an important cultural legacy appropriate for an older audience.
As we mentioned on the #podcast, the book was likely edited with a heavy hand and apparently captures little of the woman's spirit which was by other accounts quite different. Apparently the real #Peig was funny and great #craic

Fin Dwyer did a good two part series on Peig which is worth a listen

The Last of Her Kind | Peig Sayers I

Women are all too often overlooked in history. The Daughters of Dun Iascaigh, written by the Cahir Womens History Group, addresses this imbalance by profiling the lives of over 20 women from this Tipperary town. The book highlights some fascinating but previously overlooked stories. In this podcast I interview three contributors Josephine O'Neill, Maurice Casey and Annette Condon who reveal intriguing stories about rebels, nuns and revolutionaries from Cahir in the last century.

4) Vivienne Sayers O'Callaghan has a long name!

Right in the middle of that long string is the name Sayers. That name is much reviled among #Irish people of a certain age who were required to read Peig Sayers' autobiography during secondary/high school.

It turns out that Vivienne is related to #Peig!

Did Peig ruin your life?

Peig Irish Edition

Peig is an irish novel first published in 1936. It is suitable for Leaving Certificate Irish.

@bookstodon Martin Eden is a wonderful story about a tough guy determined to make it as a writer - if it wasn't for his suicide at the end, it would be widely read still as a classic. The only place it really survived was in Russia, where I think it was on the school curriculum…? Probably their equivalent of #Peig
I know, I want to, but there's still trauma. #Peig
