| Summary |
This volume presents biographical entries on a range of authors from diverse backgrounds and experiences, all of whom have made significant contributions to the literary culture of Ireland in the 21st century. They range in age from the oldest, born in 1945 to the youngest born 40 years later, which is important because of the influence of Irish society and history, and the many different Irelands that shaped their development and perspectives and inspired their fiction. |
