With 1998s peace agreements, the conflict between nationalists and unionists seemed, if not resolved, at least dormant. But Brexit - with the ambiguous position it leaves Northern Ireland in - caused old tensions to resurface.The Passenger explores their ramifications in politics, society, culture and... sport.

And theres a whole other Ireland abroad, an Irish diaspora that looks to the old country with new-found pride, but doesnt forget the ugliness it fled from. Memory and identity intertwine with the transformations - from globalisation to climate change - that are remodelling the Irish landscape, from the coastal communities under threat of disappearing together with the Irish language fishermen use to talk about the sea, while inland the peat bogs, until recently important sources of energy and jobs, are being abandoned.From Catherine Dunne to Colum McCann, Mark OConnell and Sara Baume, Irish (but not only) writers and journalists tell of a country striving to stay a step ahead of time.

Consider the books, rather, more like a literary vacation--the kind you can take without braving a long flight in the time of Covid-19."-- Publishers Weekly "A wonderful publication and a beautiful object. The Passenger is a pleasure to read, to hold, and to look at."-- La Repubblica "A must-read.
