  Article:   WANDERING ENEAS THROUGH HIS-“STORY” OR THE OTHER SIDE OF IRELAND.

Authors:  SANDA BERCE.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  Wandering with Eneas McNulty through ‘his-story’ definitely is an enriching reading experience of contemporary Irish fiction. Barry’s book may offer a multitude of starting points and lines of interpretation but the aim of the present paper is to tackle and focus on the intricate relationship between fiction and history with a view to revealing its function in the success of the book. The protagonist special view on life gives the narrative its ‘uncanny’ character and is regarded as the main factor on which the imaginative variation is built in searching to re-inscribe ‘lived time’ upon ‘cosmic time’. The vision is defined as an actualization of a historical possibility and the notion has to do with the ‘contemporary’ equivalent of subjectivity which is ‘positionality’: ‘the criss-crossing of focal points’ or the fluid narrative.
