“a book that was written 200 years ago can be as alive today as when it was first published, and last month’s novel can be as dead in a year as a laboratory mouse”

Including bold new readings of Proust’s presence within the writings of #SamuelBeckett, #ElizabethBowen, #BrendanBehan, #JohnMcGahern, and #MaryDevenportO'Neill, The Irish Proust sheds new light on the cosmopolitan, modernist literary culture of post-independence Ireland.
We launched Body Politics and The Dark at Glucksman Ireland House last week!

[Image Description: an artwork depicting two people embracing and the words To lie still in the moment, in the very heart of flesh, the place of beginning and end, to snatch it out of time, to move still in all stillness of flesh, to taste that trembling moment again, to hold it, to know it, and to let it go, the small bird that you held, its heart hammering in the cup of the hands, flown into the air.]

[Image Description: a black and white photo from an Irish nightclub in the 1970s and the words Everywhere now there was the sense of the fair and the hunt and the racecourse, the heavy excitement of preying and vulnerable flesh, though who were the hunters and who the prey was never clear, in an opening or closing field one could easily turn into the other; and, since there were not many young people here, there must have been few in the dance hall who at one time or another hadn't been both, and early as it was in the evening, if we could scent past habits and tobacco and alcohol, in all the gathering staleness, there must be already, here or there, in some corners, the sharp smell of fresh blood on the evening's first arrowheads.]
