Impermanence Essay Collection Review


A great review by Eilis O’HanIon of the ‘Impermanence’ essay collection edited by Neil Hegarty and Nora Hickey M’Sichili published by No Alibis Press and the Centre Culturel Irlandais.

It includes an essay from me as quoted here by Eilis;

Novelist Paul McVeigh, author of The Good Son, recalls what it was like to grow up in Belfast during the Troubles as he came to realise he was attracted to both boys and girls, a state of affairs which, he notes with admirable understatement, “made life difficult for me”.

The liminal spaces here are sexual. “I was one way, I was the other. I was both. Now, mostly, I am neither.”
