Interview with Edna O'Brien
Ойын-сауық
'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...
Our finest and best of writers the great Edna O Brien who knows how to shock and awe. Happy 90years Edna and many more.
I could listen to her all day, fascinating person.
A true national treasure. I have a handwritten letter from Edna which is one of my most prized possessions.
'I am studious, despite the parties.' Same here, Edna!
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.
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 Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Her book “James Joyce” surely ranks among the greatest biographies of all time.
I am just reading „Girl“, sad, but very well written.
I like her very much, as I do 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.
Fans of Edna O'Brien's writing must read her latest novel, The Little Red Chairs. Age has only enriched her writing.
Querida Edna!
Edna is amazing
