Exploring An t-Oileánach (anglicised as The Islandman) an indigenous Irish-language memoir written by Tomás Ó Criomhthain (Tomás O'Crohan) Máiréad Nic Craith charts the development of Ó Criomhthain as an author the writing illustration and publication of the memoir in Irish and the reaction to its portrayal of an authentic Gaelic lifestyle in Ireland. As she probes the appeal of an island fisherman's century-old life-story to readers in several languages-considering the memoir's global reception in human literary and artistic terms-Nic Craith uncovers the indelible marks of Ó Criomhthain's writing closer to home: the Blasket Island Interpretive Centre which seeks to institutionalize the experience evoked by the memoir and a widespread writerly habit amongst the diasporic population of the Island. Through the overlapping frames of literary analysis archival work interviews and ethnographic examination nostalgia emerges and re-emerges as a central theme expressed in different ways by the young Irish state by Irish-American descendants of Blasket Islanders in the US today by anthropologists and beyond.
