Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What makes a 'great' Irish novel in the twenty-first century, and who gets to decide This volume brings together leading scholars of Irish literature to explore this very question. Rather than assembling a definitive canon, Great Irish Novels of the Twenty-First Century takes a more revealing approach: each contributor selects a novel they consider 'great,' reflecting on the critical and cultural processes that informed their choice. The result is not a ranked list, but a conversation about literary taste and value, and the evolving role of literary criticism today. Spanning internationally acclaimed authors and lesser-known voices alike, the essays illuminate how contemporary Irish fiction renegotiates enduring concerns - history and memory, family and identity, art and imagination - while engaging with the social and political realities of twenty-first-century Ireland in aesthetically rewarding ways. At once an exploration of contemporary Irish writing and a reflection on the practice of criticism itself, this volume invites readers to reconsider what it means to call a novel 'great'.
