Just a quick note re a new book. I think it might be of interest to
university libraries which have an Irish section. If anyone would like to
see a brochure which contains reproductions of the lino-printing, the
author can be contacted at

****************************************
The State We're Out is a novel without words told ijn a series of fifty
three original printed plates by Brendon Deacy. The narrative describes
one man's emigration from the West of Ireland in 1951 and his subsequent
experiences but as Roddy Doyle writes in his foreword, 'its form invites us
all to create our own story from the images and, perhaps more importantaly,
the page-turns between the images.' The pictures have been created by
linocut printing, a medium which powerfully and directly evokes all the
vitality of the wide range of events and emotions resulting from exile.
