Maurice O'Sullivan
Maurice O'Sullivan ((アイルランド語:Muiris Ó Súilleabháin), (:ˈmˠɪɾʲɪʃ oː sˠuːlʲəˈvˠɑːnʲ); 19 February 1904 – 25 June 1950), an Irish author, famous for his memoir of growing up on the Great Blasket Island and in Dingle, County Kerry, off the western coast of Ireland.
==Writings==
''Fiche Bliain ag Fás'' was published in Irish and English in 1933. As one of the last areas of Ireland in which the old Irish language and culture had continued unchanged, the Great Blasket Island was a place of enormous interest to those seeking traditional Irish narratives. Ó Súilleabháin was persuaded to write his memoirs by George Thomson, a linguist and professor of Greek who had come to the island to hear and learn the Irish language. It was Thomson who encouraged him to go into the Guards, rather than emigrate to America as most of the young people did. Thomson edited and assembled the memoir, and arranged for its translation into English with the help of Moya Llewelyn Davies.
While ''Fiche Bliain ag Fás'' was received with tremendous enthusiasm by critics, including E.M. Forster, their praise at times had a condescending tone. Forster described the book as a document of a surviving "Neolithic" culture.〔 Such interest was tied up with romantic notions of the Irish primitive, and thus when Ó Súilleabháin tried to find a publisher for his second book, ''Fiche Bliain faoi Bhláth'' (in English, ''Twenty Years a-Flowering''), there was little interest, as this narrative necessarily departed from the romantic realm of turf fires and pipe-smoking wise-women.
Dylan Thomas commenced, but did not finish, a filmscript of ''Twenty Years a'Growing''.
