Northern Irish Writing After The Troubles: Intimacies, Affects, Pleasures (New Horizons In Contemporary Writing)

Since the Good Friday Agreement brought an end to the Troubles, Northern Ireland has undergone a literary renaissance, with a new generation of writers exploring innovative new literary forms. In this book, Caroline Magennis explores this new generation of writers and how the post-conflict period has lead them to a new engagement with intimacy and intimate life. The book draws on new insights from Affect Studies to analyse the innovative forms that have accompanied this turn and includes interviews with some of the most compelling contemporary Northern Irish writers, including Lucy Caldwell, Jan Carson, Bernie McGill and Tara West.
