  • Full Text of 'Joyce House' Letter and Signatories
    Full text of ‘Joyce house’ letter and signatories As writers, artists, and scholars of Irish literature and culture, we call upon Josepha Madigan, the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, and Owen Keegan, Dublin City Manager, to intervene to save, for the nation and the world, the house at 15 Usher's Island, known to all as Joyce's house of "The Dead", and prevent any deterioration of its fabric. In the decades since Joyce's death, too many of the places that are rendered immortal in his writing have been lost to the city. Let us not repeat this mistake today. 15 Usher's Island is not just another house connected with Joyce. Built in 1775, its upper floors were rented by Joyce's great-aunts in the 1890s and the writer himself often visited them there. Most importantly, it is the setting of "The Dead", widely considered Joyce's and indeed the world's greatest short story. The atmosphere in the house and the way the rooms are configured are mostly untouched since Joyce's time. Turning it into a 56-room hostel would destroy the uniquely valuable interior which still maintains the character of the house so splendidly described in the story. Usher's Island has the potential to become a worthwhile site of literary pilgrimage, a way to inform and inspire new generations of Joyce readers. As we approach the centenary of Ulysses in 2022, we believe that saving this unique piece of our national heritage is within the power of the Government and the national institutions and that it should be an urgent priority.

Finally, in 2015 Barry’s Beatlebone won the Goldsmith’s Prize, which is awarded for work that breaks the mould of fictional conventions. Born in Limerick, Kevin has lived in many places, including Cork, Santa Barbara, Barcelona, and Liverpool. Recent years have, however, seen him settle in Sligo, where he has purchased and renovated a former police station. He is driven by enormous creative energy though he disarmingly refers to himself as a “raving egomaniac.” Barry’s most recent novel Beatlebone imagines John Lennon’s journey to an island he owns in Ireland, his battles with creative block, primal scream therapy, and his new album, the eponymous Beatlebone. “My initial spark of inspiration is always place.

I n truth, there have been hundreds of efforts to define this most tantalising and elusive of fictional forms, most of them as unhelpful as Flannery O'Connor's: "A story is a way to say something that can't be said any other way. Humor, tragedy, emotion, and other sentiments run through the various stories here. Granta's Best of Young issues, released Oct 29, Shane rated it it was amazing. Enright's choice is a shrewd one, succeeding in typifying each writer whilst expressing their uniqueness. T his excellent miscellany of modern short fiction from Ireland begins and ends with a road accident. Deft and often devastating, these short stories dodge the rolling mythologies of Irish life to produce truths that are delightful and real. I first read O'Connor when I was maybe 10, maybe 12 years of age. Digital Be informed with the essential news and opinion. Anne Enright. Return to Book Page. But though I am not a romantic, I am quite passionate about the whole business of being an Irish writer. From Nobel laureates to debut novelists, international translations to investigative journalism, each themed issue of Granta turns the attention of the world's best writers on to one aspect of the way we live now. They are. This is a slow read. I loved this collection of contemporary Irish short stories.

  • Option Name: Irish Short Fiction Lecturer Name: Paul Delaney Email
    Option Name: Irish short fiction Lecturer Name: Paul Delaney Email Address: [email protected] ECTS Weighting: 10 Semester/Term Taught: HT Year: SS Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this module students should be able to: 1. Identify the principal characteristics of the short-story form as it has been practised in twentieth-century and contemporary Irish writing. 2. Situate this knowledge in a broader historical, cultural and literary context. 3. Employ a range of interpretive strategies, using an advanced critical vocabulary, to engage in a close reading of a select body of texts. 4. Evaluate those texts in oral and written presentations, and transfer discipline specific competencies to cognate subjects and related professions. Option Learning Aims: ‘We may not be very good at economics or honest politics, but we certainly know how to write a short story.’ So The Irish Times commented on the publication of Anne Enright’s edited anthology, The Granta Book of the Irish Short Story in 2010. This Option considers the basis for this claim, tracing the genre of short fiction in Ireland from the early decades of the twentieth century to the present. Building on aspects of the JF ‘Irish Writing’ module, this Option explores stories by key prose writers of the post-independence years; it also engages with major writers of the mid-to-late twentieth century, before concluding with classes on some of the most accomplished short-story writers writing today. In essence, the module argues for an understanding of a short-story tradition which is vibrant and poetic, challenging, productive, and diverse.
