Diary of an Ant: Eleven (mainly) Dark Yarns from the Irish Gaelic

Diary of an Ant is the first English language translation of Cín lae seangáin agus scéalta eile, the critically acclaimed, award-winning collection of short stories by Dublin-born author Tomás Mac Síomóin. With his cultural roots in Ireland 's Gaelic West, Mac Síomóin takes a darkly humorous look at the failure and the innate dishonesty of most inter-human relating against a backdrop of ultimate absurdity that he sees as underlying all human experience.
