“Edna O’Brien and the Art of Fiction” “firmly illustrates O’Brien’s mastery as a writer”

Edna O’Brien and the Art of Fiction

by Maureen O’Connor

“O’Connor’s close readings, coupled with a deft use of theory, nimbly move between texts in O’Brien’s oeuvre, highlighting recurring images and preoccupations, resulting in a valuable critical account that firmly illustrates O’Brien’s mastery as a writer; and asserts her as a figure in Irish literary culture deserving of continued attention.”
