An Dochtúir Áthas (Irish Edition)

An chéad úrscéal le Liam Mac Cóil, agus an chéad leabhar Gaeilge a cuireadh ar ghearrliosta Dhuaiseanna Liteartha an Irish Times.

Ba é mo dhochtúir féin a chuir chuige mé. “Tá galar ort,” a deir sé an lá seo, “nach bhfuil aon ainm air. Tá an Dochtúir Áthas an-sciliúil ina leithéid,” ar seisean. “Tá mé chun tú a chur chuige. Is síocanailíseoir é.” Is mar sin a thosaíonn an scéal seo; más scéal é.

The first novel by Liam Mac Cóil, and the first Irish language book to be shortlisted for The Irish Times Literary Awards.

My own doctor sent me to see him. "You have an illness," he said that day, "that doesn't have a name. Doctor Áthas is very skilled in this sort of thing," he said. "I'm going to send you to him. He's a psychoanalyst." That's how this story begins; if it is a story.
