London Irish fictions - Tony Murray

An in-depth study of the literature of the Irish in London, this volume examines the specific role that the metropolis plays in literary portrayals of Irish migrant experience. By examining over thirty Irish novels, short stories, and autobiographies set in London since World War II, London Irish Fictions encourages readers to travel through the complex psychological landscapes of belonging and cultural allegiance found in these intensely personal perspectives on the Irish experience of migration. Tony Murray sheds new light on how migrant identities are negotiated, mediated, and represented through literature.
