Why is Ireland such a literary hotbed?

 


The latest issue of The Stinging Fly, apparently an important Irish literary magazine. Website here. 

Irish writers such as James Joyce and Jonathan Swift are famous the world over,  and apparently Ireland remains a literary hotbed. 

"‘We all read like hell!’ How Ireland became the world’s literary powerhouse" is an interesting article from The Guardian. 

Science fiction is my particular interest; apparently there aren't many Irish science fiction writers.  But I liked this sentence in the Wikipedia piece: "The following 23 pages are in this category, out of 23 total."
