Overview: Edna O’Brien (b. 1930), an award-winning Irish author of novels, plays, and short stories, has been hailed as one of the greatest chroniclers of the female experience in the twentieth century. She is the 2011 recipient of the Frank O’Connor Prize, awarded for her short story collection Saints and Sinners. She has also received, among other honors, the Irish PEN Award for Literature, the Ulysses Medal from University College Dublin, and a lifetime achievement award from the Irish Literary Academy. Her 1960 debut novel, The Country Girl, was banned in her native Ireland for its ground-breaking depictions of female sexuality. Notable works also include August Is a Wicked Month (1965), A Pagan Place (1970), Lantern Slides (1990), and The Light of Evening (2006). O’Brien lives in London.

A Pagan Place:
A Pagan Place is Edna O’Brien’s stunning novel about the uniquely wonderful, terrible, peculiar place she once called home. She writers not only of a life there – of a child becoming a woman – but of the Irish experience out of which that life arises. This is the Ireland of country villages and barley fields, of druids in the woods and of mischievous girls. Ireland has marked her life and work with unmistakable colour and depth, and here she recreates her homeland with a singular grace and intensity.
Tales for the Telling:
In Tales for the Telling you’ll meet giants and leprechauns, heroes and princesses. Edna O’Brien’s collection of twelve quintessentially Irish stories of love and high deeds, which have been passed from generation to generation, are retold in her distinctive narrative style, brimming with magic and myth, nonsense and naughtiness.
