Edna O'Brien, the award-winning Irish novelist known for 'The Country Girls' series and numerous other books, has died. She was 93.
Edna O'Brien, Ireland's literary pride and outlaw who scandalized her native land with her debut novel “The Country Girls” before gaining international acclaim as a storyteller and iconoclast that found her welcomed everywhere from Dublin to the White House, has died. She was 93. O'Brien died Saturday after a long illness, according to a statement by her publisher Faber and the literary agency PFD.
” O’Brien related well to Kennedy’s reticence, and longing. The literary world gossiped about the author’s love life, but O’Brien’s deepest existence was on the page, from addressing a present that seemed without boundaries to sorting out a past that seemed all boundaries — “the don’ts and the don’ts and the don’ts.” In her story “The Love Object,” the narrator confronts her lust, and love, for an adulterous family man who need only say her name to make her legs tremble.
