Book excerpt: This volume discusses place and landscape in Irish fiction since 2008, including work by William Trevor, Dermot Bolger, Anne Enright, Donal Ryan, Claire Kilroy, Kevin Barry, Gerard Donovan, Danielle McLaughlin, Trisha McKinney, Billy O’Callaghan and Colum McCann. In light of writing by geographers, anthropologists and philosophers like Doreen Massey, Tim Ingold, Giorgio Agamben and Jeff Malpas, this book examines metamorphoses of place and landscape in fiction in the aftermath of a crisis with deep economic and cultural consequences. It shows what place and landscape representations reveal of the past and how boundedness, openness and emergence can contribute to designing future landscapes.
