a Pagan Place
O’Brien, Edna
Weidenfeld & Nicolson London 1970 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Green Cloth (of course) 223 pages, photographic illustrated dust jacket, slightly rubbed at the top and bottom, with a short tear on the rear panel top edge. "Holy men, bigots, impassioned patriots -- over the centuries A Pagan Place has given birth to them all. It is the Ireland of country villages, the Ireland where Edna O'Brien was born and raised and which gave the inspiration to those wonderful early novels of hers -- The Country Girls and The Lonely Girl. But the Edna O'Brien who now returns to rural Ireland returns as a mature artist who sees the place itself as it is, who sees it as those young girls blinded by their youth were unable. Her story concerns not only a child becoming maimed by her upbringing as she grows into womanhood but also the entire Irish experience of poverty, superstition, bigotry and ignorance, out of which that life arises." -- dust jacket blurb.
