‘Far Inland’ is a shamanic story for our times, blending past and future in a delightful narrative. Sorley MacRath, raised in the Outer Hebrides, cherishes the moorlands and night skies of his childhood but grapples with the burdens of his 'second sight' gift. Turning away from island life, he relocates to Glasgow, where he operates an antiquarian bookshop. However, a violent assault plunges him into a coma, initiating his shamanic journey through encounters with his ancestors. Awakening in a skeptical world that dismisses his archaic powers, he struggles with doubt and uncertainty regarding their validity and his ability to wield them. Haunted by memories and loss, he returns to his island home, seeking to validate his powers and his own worth. Residing in the long-abandoned family croft, he reconnects with the wild beauty of the moorlands and the Gaelic culture of his youth. Set against the backdrop of the Isle of Lewis and Glasgow, this tale weaves together Gaelic and Inuit mythology and spirituality, creating a contemporary narrative that is both original and redemptive. The story captures the lonely terror of psychic disintegration and the potential for renewal, offering an authentic evocation of personal and cultural exploration.
