    An bhfuil fhios ag aon duine anseo aon rud (ar chor ar bith) faoin ghearrscéil seo no an ghearrscannáin. Caithfidh mé aiste a scríobh faoin an ghearrscéil/ghearrscannáin seo ach níl a lán eolas le fáil ar an idirlíon. B'aoibheann liom aon eolas/thuairimí/smaointe ar an scéal/scannáin seo a chloistéail.

    Go raibh míle maith agaibh a cháirde. :)

    And of course, Irishmen have been, and still are, great writers in English, although I definitely disagree with the suggestion that modern literature in Irish is somehow inferior to modern Irish literature in English. I do agree that, say, John McGahern and Jennifer Johnston are quite outstanding; but they are, too obviously and too provincially, Irish writers. In comparison, Mícheál Ó Conghaile's enigmatic, Borgesian short story Seacht gCéad Uaireadóir ("Seven Hundred Clocks") is certainly supranational world literature.

    Déan 'Borges' a chuardach ar Google b'fhéidir chun tús a chur le do chuid taighde.

    Thank you for your reply pog it. I was just wondering if you would mind clarifying what you mean by searching for 'borges' in google. What should I find when doing this? All my searches have turned up non-gaeilge related!

    You don't need Gaeilge related quotes yet. The writer of the blog I quoted from there refers to Seacht gCéad Uaireadóir as 'Borgesian', that is, in the style of Borges, the short story writer.

    So if you google Borges or 'Borges style of writing', and get an idea of that, it might give you some context for the style in Seacht gCéad Uaireadóir and you can either agree or disagree with that once you've watched the film and launch off from there!
