HeadRead on ERR: Fionntán de Brún and Indrek Õis

“The story had been saturated by propaganda. There are so many films and novels completely written from a clichéd or propagandic view, so it was important for me to get a character that could see things differently,” Fionntán de Brún said, speaking about his acclaimed novel Béal na Béiste.     

Fionntán de Brún also spoke to Indrek Õis about the Troubles and the past and current status of the Irish language.
