Brick Dust John Cullen (Translator) whose essay ‘Whistling of Birds’This sprawling saga of family and class is told by an enigmatic narrator, a hoarder of documents, who is trying to lay out a history of the Nacullian family. As the jumble of their lives is pieced together we witness them migrate, marry, work up library fines, die, build bridges and Morris dance. Brick Dust is a comedic tale about the struggle to make something solid, when all we have is dust.
