Irish queer female book recommendations

cloudatlas · 2022-11-10 10:29:56

I'm out of the loop has anything been published in the last 30 years that has really impressed anyone that is written from an Irish queer female perspective?

I liked Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan.
Would you recommend anything published more than 30 years ago?

Emma Donoghue has written some good fiction books
If you like cheesy teenage rom com the falling in love montage is cool
I loved Nuala O'Faolains auto biography from 1996 too. She details here relationships with Men and Women.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Ruby fruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown. 1973. May offend modern sensibilities but it is what it is.
