Edna O'Brien on the Bosnian war and loneliness

She's approaching her eighty fifth birthday - but the novelist Edna O'Brien certainly hasn't been giving up work. In her latest book - the little red chairs - based on the Bosnian war, she delved deep into the lives of tyrants, their victims and the nature of evil.

"The Little Red Chairs" by Edna O'brien was riveting, spellbinding and unforgettable.

Such a wonderful woman and mind. May she RIP. Everything she said about dictatorship was correct and you can add that monster Trump to the list too. What’s scary is that there are so many truly “unfeeling” and unconscious people in the world today. Those who vote for the likes of Trump sadly have the same way of thinking and non-feeling as him and that is a very disturbing thought. Great minds like hers and of her generation and time are what the world need more of today but the majority of youth now don’t even read anymore and know nothing or have learned nothing from history or herstory. Sad times in this current world and evolving for the worst not better. 💔
