[English version below] Tugtar cead a gcos do shamhlaíocht agus do chlisteacht Titley sa chnuasach téagartha seo a céadfhoilsíodh i 1998. Tá an-éagsúlacht sna scéalta ar fad, ó thaobh ábhair agus leagain amach de – tá scéal ann gan oiread is comhartha poncaíochta amháin, ceann eile nach bhfuil ach cúig fhocal is fiche ann. Léiríonn Titley tríd síos, áfach, go bhfuil bua na scéalaíochta aige, is cuma cén fhoirm a roghnaíonn sé. Céad scéal san iomlán atá sa chnuasach seo, céad scéal ina bhfeictear an greann agus an t-imeartas focal is dual do Titley, mar aon leis an léargas ar an gcoinníoll daonna is dual dó freisin. Cuirfidh an cnuasach seo ag gáire is ag machnamh thú. Láithreoir: Ian Ó Caoimh Aíonna: Mairtín Coilféir agus Aifric Mac Aodha [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] Titley’s imagination and cleverness are given free reign in this sizeable collection, first published in 1998. There is great variety in all the stories, in both their substance and their form – one story contains not a single punctuation mark, for example, and another consists of only twenty five words. No matter what form he chooses, however, Titley proves throughout Leabhar Nóra Ní Anluain that he is a formidable storyteller. There are a hundred stories in total in this book, a hundred stories in which we see Titley’s characteristic humour and word-play, as well as his characteristic insights into the human condition. A collection of stories to make you laugh and make you think. Presenter: Ian Ó Caoimh Guests: Mairtín Coilféir and Aifric Mac Aodha
