Day 25: Tell us about the last book you read (for leisure or for school).
The last book I read was one I've read multiple times as background for my academic work on medieval Irish literature. It's called The Wisdom of the Outlaw, and is written by Joseph Falaky Nagy. It's about a genre of Irish literature called Fianaigecht, and most particularly the idea that there existed in medieval Irish literature this marginal, semi-supernatural group of people whose power came from their outsider status. It's an absolutely beautiful piece of academic work, and I wish that I had been the one to write it!
