Reviews
"Pulsates with the urgency of radical questioning, yet offers assurance born from a rare maturity of reflection. . . . A fascinating view of themes which preoccupied Irish cultural life for almost three decades."
— Fran O’Rourke, University College, Dublin
"Richard Kearney is equally at home with Gadamer and Lady Gregory, Deirdre and Derrida; and his strength as a critic consists in bringing these twin currents, home-grown Irish and avant-garde European, into illuminating interaction. . . . These essays are an eloquent plea for a culturally heterogeneous Ireland."
—Times Literary Supplement on Transitions by Richard Kearney
