REVIEWING TODAY – THE CHRONICLES OF DAN LEE O’BRIEN BY DAVID JORDAN

The Chronicles of Dan Lee O’Brien is the well-crafted collection of ably narrated stories written by David Jordan that are defined and permeated by the profoundly fertile ground of Irish mythology in which they are immersed, with place names, gods and goddesses, and a wide variety of supernatural beings that are likely all too familiar to Irish readers, but are much more esoteric and not nearly so accessible to one not of Gaelic background and descent. Perhaps an Irish reader would react more to the nuances and innuendos provided by a cultural familiarity with such myths, but one does not need to speak an Irish brogue to enjoy the magical worlds created so deftly by a writer who is obviously quite skilled at his chosen craft.

Dan Lee O’Brien, whose chronicles are here set forth by David Jordan, is a mysterious old Irishman whose affectations include a propensity for continuously smoking his beloved pipe and always sporting a long and flowing trench coat, and who spends more time than might be considered healthy investigating situations that require regular engagement with the strange host of supernatural beings mentioned just above. His uniqueness in moderating necessary transactions between the mundane world and the “Otherworlds” has made his name well known on the island called Inis Fail, and thus he tends to be called on whenever odd things happen.

But the true accomplishment of these interwoven tales is to show by clear example the message the stories are meant to tell: that we must now and always be prepared to nurture, embrace, and celebrate the supernatural powers of imagination. That David Jordan demonstrates this so well in his book The Chronicles of Dan Lee O’Brien is a testament to his own passion for that important universal message.
