MÁIRTÍN Ó CADHAIN was born in an Cnocán Glas, Cois Fharraige, Connemara, in 1906. He was educated locally, and a scholarship allowed him to become a National School teacher. On graduating from St. Patrick’s College, Drumcondra, Dublin, he returned to Connemara, where he taught in local schools, including Camas and, later, Carnmore. During the Second World War he was interned in the Curragh camp in Kildare for membership in the proscribed Irish Republican Army (IRA). He subsequently became a translator in Dáil Éireann, and Trinity College Dublin appointed him lecturer in Irish in 1956, naming him professor in 1969. He died in 1970. He is best known for his novel Cré na Cille (1949), published in the English language by Yale University Press as Graveyard Clay, translated by Liam Mac Con Iomaire and Tim Robinson (2016), and Dirty Dust, translated by Alan Titley (2015); his short story collections include Idir Shúgradh agus Dáiríre (1939), An Braon Broghach (1948), Cois Caoláire (1953), An tSraith ar Lár (1967), An tSraith Dhá Tógáil (1970), and An tSraith Tógtha (1977). Another novel, Athnuachan (1997), and a piece of continuous imaginative prose, Barbed Wire (2002), were published posthumously.
