Reviews
Kate McLoughlin, Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford, UK
Original and thoroughly engaged, Narratives of the Unspoken in Contemporary Irish Fiction illustrates some of the many ways silence has been registered in recent decades in Irish literature. The subjects discussed are brilliantly diverse, and each of the essays is attentive to the various – and often conflicting – ways that silence can be heard or made to speak. A timely, compelling collection.
