Watson examines novels and novellas from Dùn-Aluinn to Dìleas Donn and Shrapnel, alongside short story collections, uncollected fiction and short fiction from magazines such as Gairm. The final chapters focus on the current state of criticism of Gaelic fiction and discuss the most recent initiatives that have sustained the viability of fiction in the Gaelic language.Key FeaturesThe only introduction to Gaelic fiction availableAnalyses all novels and novellas, all short story collections, and much of the uncollected fictionPlaces Gaelic fiction within a wider contextExamines the critical approaches taken to the fiction so far and introduces research areas that must be explored
