“I have often envied him his absorption”

Once again, the Guardian Review section has another wonderful article.. this time Colm Tóibín on the Genius of John Millington Synge – to coincide with the publication by Carysfort Press of Synge: A Celebration edited by Tóibín, out on Monday.. wish they had an easier ordering system though.. The Druid Theatre Company are performing the Synge Plays in Galway and elsewhere. You can read Maire Nic Shiubhlaigh’s eye-witness account of the Playboy Riots, and more, in this great Synge birthday post at The Sheila Variations

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
