AT SWIM, TWO BOYS IS A GREAT IRISH NOVEL, AND A GROUNDBREAKG GAY LOVE STORY

Quare Fellas: New Irish Gay Wrg. At Swim, Two Boys by Jamie O’Neill (Gay Historil Fictn). The Heart’s Invisible Furi by John Boyne (Gay Historil Fictn).

We didn’t crimalise homosexualy until 1993 – more than a quarter-century after siar laws had been enacted Great Bra – and yet by 2015 we’d bee the first untry the world to vote by plebisce for same-sex marriage. There was still a sense of the clanste to what should have felt perfectly a young gay man behd a bookshop unter, I watched the people who bought At Swim, Two Boys – and there were a lot of them – and ed as a tool for flirtatn. In love wh lerature but starved of books that spoke to their own experienc of beg gay Ireland.

Thanks, Jamie O’Neill, I owe you urse, At Swim, Two Boys is a universal novel that enpass much more than simply the gay experience. Who among , gay, straight or somewhere between, has not felt that nfn?
