  1. Rappelons-nous l’histoire parallèle des « Country Girls » de #EdnaOBrien dont j’avais pouetté après la mort de l’Irlandaise en juillet dernier* : genre coming-of-age, personnages et sujets des deux récits très similaires, les écrivaines à six ans près du même age, paroles et style littéraire à contre-courant de l’ambiance réactionnaire de leurs sociétés dans les griffes du catholicisme, et dans les deux cas ce n’était qu’une fois célébré pour ses qualités littéraires en dehors de son pays d’origine que les compatriotes demandaient alors pourquoi on les avait gardé en ignorance de ce merveilleux livre. 2/3

  5. @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon my favourite thing atm is choosing an author I’ve read a bit of, and finding or setting up a reading challenge on @thestorygraph of all their work, so I can (re-)read everything in order. Currently doing this with #ASByatt, #EdnaOBrien, #JackKerouac and #DavidFosterWallace.

  14. Mi svegliai di soprassalto e scattai a sedere. È solo quando sono preoccupata che mi sveglio facilmente e per un attimo non capii perché il cuore mi battesse piú in fretta del solito. Poi ricordai. La ragione era sempre la stessa. Lui non era tornato a casa … cctm.website/edna-obrien-irlan

  15. Toujours pas terminé la relecture de « Gormenghast » depuis la semaine dernière, mais ce #vendredilecture il faut rendre hommage à la grande dame de la littérature irlandaise, #EdnaOBrien, mort samedi dernier à 93 ans – à Londres, en Angleterre, ou elle avait vécu depuis avoir quitté son pays natal en 1958 quand, tout comme ses collègues #SamuelBeckett et #JamesJoyce, elle ne supportait plus cette société aussi répressive, réactionnaire, rigoriste hyper-catholique que l’Irlande. Ses livres que la censure supprimait dès parution, elle les écrivait déjà en exil anglais – où d’ailleurs l’écrivaine était vite considérée une des meilleures de sa génération. 1/3

  32. Sad to hear that Edna O'Brien has died. What an amazing body of work she leaves, and what a life she had. The controversy over her early books had ebbed by the time I started reading her, but the elegance of her writing and the power of her stories remained, and remains, unaltered
