Without intending to belittle other writers, for me Edna O'Brien, together with John McGahern, is the greatest Irish author of the past decades. Both had in common their books were banned in Ireland.
Above's interview from 1976 is on her trilogy "The Country Girls".
The interview above's taken in 2012.
And this one after release of ‘The Little Red Chairs’ (2015)

| The "Giraffe aus Barranquilla" comprises 82 journalistic works by García Márquez written between 1948 and 1952. "La Girafa" was the title of a column that the then 22-year-old regularly wrote for the Colombian daily newspaper "El Heraldo". Many of the short glosses and literary sketches, in which he processed everyday experiences, paved the way for his later work. |
