Original Fiction: Where People with Tattoos Waited for the Dark

Writing these five stories over the span of decades, Séamus Ó Ceallaigh follows a search for male identity from the dreamy adolescence of a fatherless boy to the insomniac wandering of a homeless tramp. The journey crosses the forgotten landscapes of rural America, Maritime Canada, counter-culture Belfast, and all the back roads of County Mayo, Ireland. Moments of sexual awakening and intuitions of death reveal that the true masculine root is compassion. Four of the these stories have been published in respected literary quarterlies and three of them have won prestigious national prizes. This edition comes with intriguing pen and ink illustrations by the author.
