"O'Brien was born in Ireland in 1930, and her brilliant debut novel, THE COUNTRY GRILS, was banned there in 1960. Since then she has created a body of work which bears comparison with the very best writing of the twentieth century. In this book we come face to face with a life of high drama and contemplation. And along the way there are encounters with Hollywood giants, pop stars and literary titans - all of whom lend this life, so gorgeously, sometimes panfully remembered here, a terrible poignancy. This is a book of unfathomable depth and honesty. " ... A few b/w photos in the text. .
