‘Ní minic a tharlaíonn sé ach is iontach éachtach go dtarlaíonn sé go fóill, agus ar chor ar bith, cnuasach gearrscéalta a bhaineann an anáil díot as feabhas na scéalaíochta agus as úire an mhachnaimh.’ Pól Ó Muirí ag caint ar Cnámh, i Comhar.

Is é Cnámh an tríú cnuasach gearrscéalta le Mac Giolla Bhríde. Fuair an cnuasach an duais próis ag Duaiseanna Liteartha an Oireachtais in 2018. Tá 17 scéal in iomláine sa leabhar, scéalta a théann i ngleic le réimse leathan ábhar a bhaineann le saol an lae inniu.

‘Níl aon fhocal nó abairt ann nach gá é; ní thugtar aon sonra nach bhfuil feidhm aige agus is cás linn na carachtair a gcasaimid leo. Ceardaí oilte an scríbhneoir a thuigeann conas scéal a nochtadh le leidí agus a thuigeann nach gá dul i muinín na tuairisce (galar tógálach na gearrscéalaíochta go minic). Tá scríbhneoir cruthanta anseo, duine nach mór dóibh scríobh agus nach mór dúinne léitheoirí a saothar nó a shaothar a léamh. Ghealaigh an saothar mo chroí. Mairimíd beo.’ An Dr Róisín Ní Ghairbhí.
