This Open access book is a collection of essays and offers an
in-depth analysis of silence as an aesthetic practice and a textual
strategy which paradoxically speaks of the unspoken nature of many
inconvenient hidden truths of Irish society in the work of
contemporary fiction writers. The study acknowledges Ireland’s
history of damaging silences and considers its legacies, but it
also underscores how silence can serve as a valuable, even
productive, means of expression. From a wide range of critical
perspectives, the individual essays address, among other issues,
the conspiracies of silence in Catholic Ireland, the silenced
structural oppression of Celtic Tiger Ireland, the recovery of
silenced stories/voices of the past and their examination in the
present, as well as millennial disaffection and the silencing of
vulnerability in today’s neoliberal Ireland. The book ’s
attention to silence provides a rich vocabulary for understanding
what unfolds in the quiet interstices of Irish writing from recent
decades. This study also invokes the past to understand the present
and, thus, demonstrates the continuities and discontinuities that
define how silence operates in Irish
culture.Grant FFI2017-84619-P AEI, ERDF, EU (INTRUTHS
