When the British-Burmese photographer Chris Steele-Perkins died earlier this week, one of the many to pay tribute to him was the American nonfiction writer Patrick Radden Keefe. In particular, it was the images Steele-Perkins took in West Belfast during the Troubles that Radden Keefe was drawn to.
These images, taken from a tour of Northern Ireland in 1979, included a selection from the Divis Flats. The notorious Republican stronghold was the last place Jean McConville was seen alive before she was killed by the IRA for being an alleged informant.
