San Juan: Memoir of a City - Paperback

by Edgardo Rodriguez Julia (Author), Maureen O'Connor (Editor)

Since the publication of 'The Country Girls', Irish writer Edna O'Brien has been celebrated and maligned. This book situates her in Irish contexts that allow for an appraisal of her contribution to Irish women's literary tradition while attesting to the potency of writing against patriarchal conventions.
