Book review: Eoghan O’Tuairisc’s account of the Irish civil war is piercingly relevant

Eoghan Ó Tuairisc was a prolific figure in the Irish literary scene, writing novels, verse, and drama in both Irish and English.

The motivation behind publishing I am Lewy by the new imprint Bullaun Press, was to bring this unusual book to the wider audience that it deserves, founder Bridget Farrell says.
