"Cousas pequenas como estas" (Claire Keegan, trad. Isaac Xubín, Rodolfo e Priscila, 2024). Unha preciosidade, sinxela e delicada. Novela breve que narra o día a día dun home esencialmente bo nunha pequena vila do sur de Irlanda no 1985. Ten o final máis fermoso que lembro. Lédea, regaládea.

🎬 Artist: #ZABOU / #ZabouArtist in City: #NewRoss Co. Wexford (Near O'Hanrahan Bridge) Ireland 🇮🇪 11/2024 - Title: "Small Things Like These" ( #CillianMurphy ) - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #Movie #Book #Literature #ClaireKeegan

On the recommendation of my daughter, I read Small These Like These, by Claire Keegan. Such a divinely written, powerful story, perfect in every way. And such an understated, yet searing indictment of the Catholic Church in Ireland. One of those books that stays with you for a long time. And I see the book has been made into a film starring Cillian Murphy as Furlong. Early reviews suggest it is worthy of the book.

#SmallThingsLikeThese

#TimMielants

Based on the best-selling novel by #ClaireKeegan. Coal merchant Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent -- and uncovers truths of his own -- forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small town controlled by the Catholic Church.

> We witness the gradual marbling of her realism with radicalism. Over the years, she doesn’t seem to have changed her mind about the shabby way the world treats women, but she has progressively made her point in a gentler and more devastating manner. I did not think realism could be truly feminist until I saw Keegan wield its techniques.

This past week I’ve delved into the works of Claire Keegan (thanks for the recommendation @arratoon)

First I’ve read her 2010 novella “Foster”. Then I’ve watched the movie “The Quiet Girl” which was based on Foster. Loved both.

But then I read her 2021 novella “Small Things Like These” and fascinated! It’s one of the best things I’ve read recently. And apparently the movie is in the works.

“I fell in love with the story in such a profound way.” Congratulations to Colm Bairéad on adapting Foster by Claire Keegan into the Oscar-nominated An Cailín Ciúin https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/may/12/quiet-girl-irish-language-film-colm-bairead-foster-claire-keegan #AnCailínCiúin #TheQuietGirl #ColmBairead #ClaireKeegan

@Hecticzen @bookstodon
Thank you so much for the suggestion. Small Things Like These was my final book for this year. It was the prefect ending for the year. Beautifully written and heart wrenching.

“The weather had turned dry and colder, and people remarked on what a picture the convent made, how like a Christmas card it almost was with the yews and evergreens dusted in frost and how the birds, for some reason, had not touched a single berry on the holly bushes there.” No better time to read (or reread) this small masterpiece. #ClaireKeegan #SmallThingsLikeThese #Christmas #rereading

“Early on a Sunday, after first Mass in Clonegal, my father, instead of taking me home, drives deep into Wexford towards the coast where my mother’s people came from.” A fine film in its own right, An Cailín Ciúin is remarkably true to its source text, Claire Keegan’s brilliant Foster. #AnCailínCiúin #TheQuietGirl #Foster #ClaireKeegan
