Feminist Discourse in Irish Literature: Gender and Power in Louise O'Neill's Young Adult Fiction (Routledge, 2022) addresses the role of YA Irish literature in responding and contributing to some the most controversial and contemporary issues in today's modern society: gender, and conflicting views of power, sexism, and consent.  This volume provides an original, innovative, and necessary examination of how "rape culture" and the intersections between feminism and power have become increasingly relevant to Irish society in the years since Irish author Louise O'Neill's novels for young adults Only Ever Yours and Asking for It were published. In consideration of the socio-political context in Ireland and broader Western culture from which O'Neill's works were written, and taking into account a selection of Irish, American, Australian and British YA texts that address similar issues in different contexts, this text highlights the contradictions in O'Neill's works and illuminates their potential to function as a form of literary/social fundamentalism which often undermines, rather than promotes, equality.

The Laureate for Irish Fiction, Sebastian Barry, hosts a series of brief conversations with fellow writers asking what is writing? What is its purpose and mystery beyond the pragmatic notions of academia and journalism? In the latest conversation, he speaks with Louise O'Neill. Louise O'Neill was born in West Cork, where she lives and works. Her first novel, Only Ever Yours, was published in 2014 is a satire about society's obsession with how women look and behave. It won several awards including the Bord Gais Energy Irish Book Awards 2014. Her second novel, Asking For it (2015) is a heart-breaking account of a rape and its aftermath in a close-knit Irish community. It was voted Book of the Year at the Irish Books Awards 2015 and spent 52 weeks in the Irish top 10 bestseller list. O' Neill's first novel for adults, Almost Love, was published in March 2018. The Surface Breaks, her feminist re-imagining of The Little Mermaid, followed in May 2018.

If you haven't yet heard of Louise O'Neill then we have a treat in store for you.

Since blasting onto the writing scene in 2014 O'Neill has written 4 more books, for children and adults alike. After the Silence is her fifth book and is as bold, brave and shocking as her other novels. The book is set in Inisrun, Ireland and has a chilling tag line: Nessa Crowley's murderer has been protected by silence for ten years. Until a team of documentary makers decide to find out the truth. Do you even need more information to read the book? Just in case you do, here's more... on the night of Nessa Crowley's murder there was a big storm, cutting the island off from the mainland, so nobody was able to leave. The mystery behind the murderer was hidden, but those on the island who was to blame. This book delves into the deadly nature of secrets and how they can devastate those who keep them. We loved this book and felt every emotion reading it. Join us for this podcast episode when we delve into the themes and mystery in detail. @bloomingratbooks.
