The Meaning of Life: Edna O’Brien
26 min
Verfügbar bis zum 30/07/2029
Ireland’s celebrated and controversial novelist, who died in July 2024, speaks to Ray Byrne for the Irish broadcaster RTE.
In her 80th year, Edna O'Brien reflects on the way her turbulent life has shaped her religious beliefs and moral values. Years in self-imposed exile from both her country and her Church did not diminish her attachment to both.
This programme was brought to you thanks to ARTE's partnership with Irish public broadcaster RTÉ.
