Political failures and globalization have eroded Ireland's sovereignty--a decline portended in Irish literature. Surveying the bleak themes in thirty works by modern writers, Declan Kiberd finds audacious experimentation that embodies the defiance and resourcefulness of Ireland's founding spirit--and a strange kind of hope for a more open nation.
