Though the situation has drastically changed in some ways since then--the first nation to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote, Ireland is today hailed as a beacon of equal rights--there is still much work to be done to fully claim parity, visibility, and recognition for all LGBTQ artists. Queer Whispers is the first comprehensive survey of Irish LGBTQ fiction, spanning the late 1970s through today. The book foregrounds the cultural contribution of Irish writers whose subversive, dissident voices not only challenged the homophobia and heteronormative values of pre-1993 Ireland but also continue to interrogate the persistent discrimination in today's seemingly more liberal atmosphere. Through analyses of representative novels and short stories, José Carregal addresses a host of social issues--lesbian invisibility, same-sex parenthood, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic, among many others--and considers how authors pushed for broader awareness of the oppression of LGBTQ people in contemporary Ireland. The writing explored in Queer Whispers consistently exposes the limitations imposed by cultural and political silence, while simultaneously articulating new forms of recognition and resilience in the face of queer Ireland's continued struggles."--Amazon.com. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (163-209) and index. 505 0 $a I don't even know how to be a lesbian : isolation and vulnerability in 1980s and early 1990s Irish lesbian fiction -- Coming clear of years of camouflage : the feminist politics of Mary Dorcey's lesbian fiction -- Men without refuge : the subculture of cruising in Irish gay short stories -- Love is war : the Irish gay coming-out novel -- The only real way to fight evil is to hold someone's hand : the cultural narratives of AIDS in Irish fiction -- The room feels warmer when you're in it : lesbian relationships in Emma Donoghue's contemporary-set novels -- He did not fit the bill as a gay man : narratives of gay life and identity in Celtic Tiger Ireland -- A nation of the heart : queering the past in Irish historical fiction. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Homosexuality in literature $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a History. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 7 $a Homosexuality in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959825 650 7 $a English fiction $x Irish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910841 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022034.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=465A51420CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
