Sheepshagger
Author(s): Niall Griffiths
Robbed of his ancestral home, Ianto pledges revenge not only on the English yuppies who have turned his grandmother's cottage into a weekender' barbecue party but on all those who have violated him and the land that is his. This latest act of colonial oppression and desecration triggers his lurid and strange information into unspeakable savagery.

"Haunting and intensely imagined, layered with chilling humour and charged with linguistic energy... a powerful and disturbing novel." - A.L. Kennedy
""Sheepshagger" is never less than compelling; the range of Griffiths's achievement is as exhilarating as the reach of his ambition." - "Guardian"
"The power of Griffiths' language is astounding, steeped in the wild forces of nature that have helped make Ianto what he is, by turns lyrically beautiful and tumultuously violent." - "The Times"
