Eating Thistles
Like the donkey in the Aesop fable, the US-Scottish writer Deborah Moffatt speaks a language \u2018sharp and barbed\u2019. She knows it is \u2018better to eat thistles\u2019 than \u2018to survive in a nation born of vanity.\u2019 And that those who close borders, soon turn against their own, \u2018maddened by power, powered by madness.\u2019
Drawing on Scottish and Irish Gaelic poetry and other literary and folk traditions, Eating Thistles transplants, transforms and re-imagines contemporary and historical events through Aesopian language, slipping between history, myth and memory \u2013 Syria, St Kilda, the Sudan, Latin American dictadura and the mass-executions by the SS of Soviet Jews, Roma and prisoners of war. Eating Thistles is a powerful and original study of guilt, denial, innocence and complicity.
