摘要：This issue sees eleven literature book reviews. They include a new novel by Roddy Doyle where he updates us on the protagonist we first encountered in The Woman Who Walked into Doors (1996); Anne Enright’s The Gathering, which won the Man Booker prize for fiction in 2007; the Collected Poems of Michael Longley, the poet who has recently been appointed Professor of Poetry for Ireland; William Trevor’s new book of stories; a collection of contemporary Irish short stories edited by David Marcus; a cultural history of Ireland during the Second World War; Eavan Boland’s thoughtful collection of comments on writing by Irish writers; essays on Irish women writers from an American perspective; a series of new essays on George Moore; a companion to the Irish novel in the Cambridge series; and a book of essays mapping Irish studies in the new century. As ever, I wanted to include reviewers who were experts in their fields as well as those less well-known or relative newcomers to seeing their names in print. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all the reviewers for providing something to awaken interest or to stimulate discussion for those of you reading this.
