An tSlaivéin

Set in the fictional country of Slavenia, the novella explores the resilience of its people who have endured the Holocaust and Stalinism. Now facing a new internal crisis, Slavenia's struggle for democracy is mirrored in the journey of Adam Jokamies, a young Scandinavian man enchanted by the nation and eager to learn its language. The narrative richly weaves Eastern European culture and history, while also unfolding a deeply erotic love story, making it a unique addition to modern Irish literature.
