The Connemara Five addresses issues of gender identity, sex roles, ageism, and biological and emotional deterioration through the lens of contemporary Ireland. Set in Connemara, Mr. Ó Conghaile's work delivers an insightful and critical look not only of his native West Ireland but of conservative, transatlantic anglophone cultures.
