  Abstract:  
Kevin Barryʼs Atlantic Drift. Kevin Barry is a contemporary Irish novelist, short-story writer, dramatist and publisher whose work is set on the islandʼs coastal fringes. This essay is a reading of some stories from There are Little Kingdoms and of his first novel, The City of Bohane. In tracing the importance of liquid and maritime imagery it suggests the importance of a sea-side perspective in his writing, and situates this perspective in wider conversations about ideas of islands and archipelagos.
