  • 'Exile and separation were very, very good for me.' A candid and illuminating career interview with Irish novelist and short story writer Edna O'Brien on publication of her memoir Country Girl (Faber, October 2012, bit.ly/Rct8Oh).
    Recorded in her London home, the interview -- which details her trepidation at writing her memoirs, the controversy surrounding her debut novel The Country Girls, her colourful life in 1960s London and much more -- is conducted by her Faber editor Lee Brackstone.

    She has a hypnotic way of speaking. I could listen to her for hours...

    A true national treasure. I have a handwritten letter from Edna which is one of my most prized possessions.

    Oh how I relate to your anger, Dear Edna 👏
    Only recently I was feeling the same way, I always stood back in quietness
    I recently was reviewing my life and I am so proud of all my achievements
    I earnestly wish to write, yet something holds me back
    My story woukd be to do with journeys , interwoven journeys, Ireland to Canada

    Her book “James Joyce” surely ranks among the greatest biographies of all time.

    To read Edna O`Brien is to sip a fine old wine. Thank you for this interview which opens the door to "Country Girl" which .absorbed me to last page.

    Fans of Edna O'Brien's writing must read her latest novel, The Little Red Chairs. Age has only enriched her writing.

    What a beautiful lady. As a 65 year old man I have never read a single word she has written. Better late than never.
