Evelyn Conlon is one of Ireland's most important writers. She has
published four collections of short stories, My Head is Opening
(1987), Taking Scarlet as a Real Colour (1993), Telling: New and
Selected Short Stories (2000) and Moving about the Place (2021) and
four novels, Stars in the Daytime (1989), A Glassful of Letters
(1998) Skin of Dreams (2003) and Not the Same Sky (2013). She has
also edited Later On: The Monaghan Bombing Memorial Anthology
(2004). Telling Truths: Evelyn Conlon and the Task of Writing is
the first book to provide a critical assessment of her work.
Drawing on a variety of perspectives such as feminism, ethics,
famine studies, mobility studies, translation studies, short
fiction, narratology and historiographic metafiction, the essays
gathered in this volume reveal that Conlon's writing, characterised
by sharp observation, insistently questions the predetermined
course of female existence, explores alternative forms of freedom
and ultimately reflects her commitment to seek and tell truths. The
intersectional approach of the book is part of a current endeavour
in Irish Studies to keep interrogating well established topics, to
examine the elusiveness of others and to explore new boundaries
through renewed epistemological and ethical positions.
