Introduction: An Intimate History of Northern Irish Writing -- 2. Intimacy -- 3. Pleasure -- 4. Skin -- 5. Milkman -- 6. Open Endings -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $a"The period since the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 has seen a sustained decrease in violence and, at the same time, Northern Ireland has undergone a literary renaissance, with a fresh generation of writers exploring innovative literary forms. This book explores contemporary Northern Irish fiction and how the 'post'-conflict period has led writers to a renewed engagement with intimacy and intimate life. Magennis draws on affect and feminist theory to examine depictions of intimacy, pleasure and the body in their writings and shows how intimate life in Northern Ireland is being reshaped and re-written. Featuring short reflective pieces from some of today's most compelling Northern Irish Writers, including Lucy Caldwell, Jan Carson, Bernie McGill and David Park, this book provides authoritative insights into how a contemporary engagement with intimacy provides us with new ways to understand Northern Irish identity, selfhood and community."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aNew horizons in contemporary writing. 606 $aNorthern Ireland$xIn literature 606 $aNorthern Ireland$xHistory$y1998- 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century$xHistory and cricitism 606 $aEnglish literature$xNorthern Irish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterary studies: from c 1900 -,Literary studies: post-colonial literature,British & Irish history$2bicssc 615 0$aNorthern Ireland$xIn literature. 615 0$aNorthern Ireland$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and cricitism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xNorthern Irish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aLiterary studies: from c 1900 -,Literary studies: post-colonial literature,British & Irish history 676 $a820.9941609049 700 $aMagennis$b Caroline$01587234 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910647294703321 996 $aNorthern Irish writing after the troubles$93874755 997 $aUNINA
