- More about Craic Baby: Dispatches from a Rising Language
Craic Baby is a follow-up to Motherfoclóir, exploring the new and old parts of the Irish language from a personal perspective. It focuses on the beginnings of a father-daughter relationship and how watching a child learn to communicate changes how one thinks about language.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 160 pages
Publication date: 13 June 2019
Publisher: Head of Zeus
From the acclaimed author of the bestselling Motherfocloir, Non-fiction Irish Book of the Year, and a TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR, comes a captivating exploration of the Irish language. In this sequel, Craic Baby delves deeper into the intricate nuances of the language, tackling questions such as the essence of Irishness, the preservation of language, and the birth of new words.
While Motherfocloir was rooted in personal memories and a father-son relationship, Craic Baby takes a fresh perspective, focusing on the beginnings of a father-daughter bond and the transformative effect of witnessing a child's language acquisition. With a greater sense of confidence and depth, the book will introduce readers to an array of new Irish words and delve into the diverse issues surrounding the language.
Like its predecessor, Craic Baby offers a delightful blend of humor, insight, and cultural richness, making it an essential read for anyone interested in exploring the vibrant world of Irish language and culture.
