Abstract
n Queer Fictions of the Past, Scott Bravmann argued that ‘lesbian and gay historical self-representations –queer fictions of the past –help construct, maintain and contest identities –queer fictions of the present.’2In this essay, I test the applicability of this argument to Irish writing and, more specifically, to three examples of twenty-first century writing engaging imaginatively with the twentieth-century history of gay men’s lives in Ireland
