Description
Abstract
This article explores the representation of family and individuals in Anne Enright's novel The Green Road
(2015) by engaging with Bauman's sociological category of “liquid modernity” (2000). In The Green Road,
Enright uses a recurrent topic, a family gathering, to observe the multiple forms in which particular experiences
seem to have suffered a process of fragmentation during the Celtic Tiger period. A comprehensive analysis of
the form and plot of the novel exposes the ideological contradictions inherent in the once hegemonic notion of
Irish family and brings attention to the different forms of individual vulnerability, aging in particular, for which
Celtic Tiger Ireland has no answer.
