An Paiste Beo Bocht (Child of the Dead End)

Léargas samhlaíoch ar shaol Patrick MacGill, file, úrscéalaí agus 'navvy', a úsáideann ábhar cartlainne agus drámaíocht chun saol MacGill a iniúchadh trína scríbhneoireacht dírbheathaisnéiseach. Leanann an scannán faisnéise seo a thuras ó bheith ina spailpín fíor-bhocht i nDún na nGall agus é fós ina pháiste, trína bhlianta mar navvy in Albain, go dtí go dtagann sé chun cinn mar scríbhneoir i Londain, áit ar foilsíodh a úrscéal claisiceach
