The past is an ever-flowing and never-dying river in human consciousness. Any single piece of our memories is a constituent part of this river. By our remembering acts we continuously and intermittently become connected to our stream of consciousness. Therefore remembering is an integrated part of our mind. Similarly it is a salient property of fictional minds too. The past is a defining element for the characters' sense of identity in narrative fiction. This is the case in the three narratives analysed in the present book. The Sea (2005) by John Banville The Gathering (2007) by Anne Enright and Milkman (2018) by Anna Burns are post-millennial Irish narratives in which remembrance of the things past is indexed to the first-person narrators' sense of identity. In its three parts and by drawing on the theories of memory and remembering this book explores how the storytellers' acts of recollecting retrieving recalling as well as retelling eventful episodes from the past bring about constructive emotional and cognitive outputs for them.
