Health and Care in Crisis in Sally Rooney's Literary Universe - Elsa Adán-Hernández

This book examines Sally Rooney s literary universe to trace the impact of globalisation and socio-economic upheavals on Irish society and personal relationships. Through rigorous scholarly contributions, this volume delves in to Rooney s novels and stories, uncovering how digital culture, religious legacies, and neoliberal values shape characters mental health, sense of belonging, and interdependence. Chapters explore themes such as cultural programming, care ethics, gender norms, intersectional identities, and the Knstlerroman tradition. By situating Rooney s works against Ireland s post-Celtic Tiger landscape, the book highlights new perspectives on vulnerability, trauma, and resilience, forging a vital dialogue about contemporary health and care.
