Inner Voice: The Sound That Will Never Stop

My research is concerned with the intersections that exist between sound and language and the ways in which fiction writers can utilise these connections. The research project is practice based and consists of a novel that portrays multiple, intertwining voices and an accompanying critical essay that analyses the work of authors Eimear McBride and Max Porter. My main areas of interest are Irish writing, hybrid writing, inner voice, sound, memory and the portrayal of grief and trauma in contemporary fiction.
