Irish Postmodernism is a still unfinished project. The variety of
critical approaches to its literature reflects its complexity. This
study queries representative current discussions, emphasising
aspects like nationhood, postcolonialism, genre and gender and
offers an insight in the latest interpretations of John Banville's
so-called 'tetralogy' (Doctor Copernicus, Kepler, The Newton
Letter, Mefisto). Different facets of postmodern theory are applied
to an exemplary analysis of three novelistic works (Banville's
Eclipse, Toibin's The Blackwater Lightship, Madden's One by One in
the Darkness). A survey of opinions and reviews published on novels
by John Banville, Seamus Deane, Dermot Healy, Deirdre Madden and
Colm Toibin discussed in Kaleidoscope of Postmodernism rounds the
study off.
