Paul Lynch's Prophet Song

The Prophet Song is a remarkable novel of the contemporary era. It is written by an Irish novelist Paul Lynch. The novel portrays a dictatorial government which is altering every fact and belief of people. Further, it also portrays a mother's determination to save her family from the torture of GNSB, as the democratic republic of Ireland slides inexorably into totalitarianism. In the novel, the socio-political picture of Ireland has been interpreted so well that it has its resonance with modern times across the globe. This novel puts a woman named, Eilish Stack at the centre of the novel's content that requires the serious and critical attention of the reader to analyse the contemporary issues of human concern, such as 'nation', 'nationalism', 'gender', 'feminism', and 'post-humanistic perspective' along with contemporary attempts to criticize the newer narration in the realm of style that has emerged forcefully in the novel Prophet Song.
