`Nobody's Business': The Aran Diaries of Ernie O'Malley presents
new insights into the contradictions and complexities of the mind
of Ernie O'Malley, one of mid-twentieth century Ireland's foremost
cultural critics. In 1941, 1955 and 1956, the former revolutionary
leader and author of the acclaimed memoir of the War of
Independence, On Another Man's Wound, visited the Aran Islands.
While on the islands, O'Malley kept diaries recounting his daily
conversations and interactions with other visitors and islanders
including Elizabeth Rivers, with whom he stayed on one occasion,
Charles Lamb and Sean Keating. The diaries, devoid of sentiment and
often highly critical, reveal his views on art, literature, history
and contemporary Irish life and international affairs as well as
his thoughts on the economic, religious and daily life of the Aran
islanders. His unvarnished observations on the inconsistencies and
hypocrisies of life in post-Independence Ireland make his diaries
absorbing and provocative. Edited with introductory essays by
Cormac O'Malley and Roisin Kennedy and an afterword by Luke
Gibbons, `Nobody's Business': The Aran Diaries of Ernie O'Malley
offers fascinating insights into the mind and opinions of a key
figure in Irish cultural nationalism.
