Necropolitics and Resilience in Sara Baume's Spill Simmer Falter Wither (2015)
This article delves into Sara Baume's Spill Simmer Falter Wither, offering a compelling critique of contemporary neoliberal necropolitics and the discourse of resilience in post-Celtic Tiger Ireland. Drawing from Achille Mbembe's concept of necropolitics and death-worlds, which grapples with the power to determine who lives and who dies, this article argues that the Irish poor have been unfairly burdened as scapegoats for the state's failures and political corruption. Central to the analysis is the protagonist's adoption of One Eye, a dog with a turbulent past, illustrating a transformative posthumanist alliance that challenges necropolitics and its resilience-driven rhetoric. The novel's exploration of ethical encounters and shared vulnerability among living beings provides fresh perspectives on pressing issues. As part of the growing scholarship on vulnerability and resilience in the humanities, this article highlights the relevance of literature in navigating these pressing themes.

End of empire and the English novel since 1945
Available in paperback for the first time, this first book-length study explores the history of postwar England during the end of empire through a reading of novels which appeared at the time, moving from George Orwell and William Golding to Penelope Lively, Alan Hollinghurst and Ian McEwan. Particular genres are also discussed, including the family saga, travel writing, detective fiction and popular romances.All included reflect on the predicament of an England which no longer lies at the centre of imperial power, arriving at a fascinating diversity of conclusions about the meaning and consequences of the end of empire and the privileged location of the novel for discussing what decolonization meant for the domestic English population of the metropole. The book is written in an easy style, unburdened by large sections of abstract reflection. It endeavours to bring alive in a new way the traditions of the English novel.
