Sinossi
"Writers live as the work dictates, a solitary, sometimes deeply frustrating life, with moments of secret joy when the sentence hits the note, gets the meaning exactly as required."For over five decades, Evelyn Conlon has reveled in the secret joy of writing and in the power of a well-crafted story. Hers has been a life of literature, travel and of challenging authority, including campaigning for women’s reproductive rights in Ireland and for an end to the death penalty in the US.Reading Rites offers the reader an unflinching and unapologetic account of a woman happily perched on the outside of society. Witty, humorous and always honest, it is an insight into one of Ireland’s finest and most compelling storytellers, and the personal, cultural and political forces that have made her the writer she is.

Reading Rites (Paperback)
Da: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Evelyn Conlons voice is instantly recognisable:wise, funny, insightful (inciteful, if thats a word) and irrepressible.Lia MillsIn Reading Rites, Evelyn Conlon brings her characteristic wit and keen intelligence to the task of exploring her writing life, drawing out the events, people, books and concerns that have helped to make her the writer she is. Using the lens of her own life as a starting point, she considers a vast array of subjects, including education; the effects of the Catholic Church, particularly on the lives of women; the legacy of historical moments such as 1916; and, through it all, the power of books to free us, to offer understanding, and to help us to see outside and beyond ourselves.Part memoir, part manifesto, Reading Rites is full of the sharp observation, restless questioning and hard-won wisdom that make Conlon one of Irelands finest and most compelling writers. These essays amount to an alternative history of social change in Ireland each one manages to keep faith with the truth of public speech. Sean OReilly In Reading Rites, Evelyn Conlon brings her wit and keen intelligence to the task of exploring her life, drawing on the events, people, books and concerns that have made her the writer she is.
