Synopsis
Writings from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Are You Somebody?, on topics from Catholicism to feminism to Irish American culture, and more. Curious and funny, tender and scathing, Nuala O&’Faolain&’s columns in the Irish Times were never less than trenchant and always passionate. Through the prism of casual, everyday encounters, O&’Faolain digs into her subjects in ways that transcend topicality. Taken together, her years of commentary form a historical narrative, a chronicle of Ireland&’s transformation by one of its sharpest observers and canniest critics. Covering a vast array of subjects, A Radiant Life includes more than seventy entries, showcasing the unequivocal voice of Nuala O&’Faolain, hailed by Irish Times literary editor Fintan O&’Toole as &“one of the greatest columnists to ever inhabit the English language.&” &“O&’Faolain . . . writes with such precision and individuality that she could make the copy on the back of a cornflakes packet compelling.&” —The Guardian on Almost There
