Edna O'Brien: Saints and Sinners

Edna O'Brien first achieved fame and notoriety with The Country Girls, which was banned in Ireland. For fifty years she has written novels, short stories, plays and criticism. Saints and Sinners, her new book of stories, is the first of her fiction to be published by Faber and she discusses the book - along with her writing methods and experimentation, influential writers and the lasting importance of her native Ireland - in this wonderful 30-minute-long interview.
