Night | Edna O'Brien
8 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
Edna O'Brien's classic novel NIGHT takes us through one long, sleepless night with Mary Hooligan. From the center of her bed, "a four poster no less," Mary recalls her fertile past, from her childhood in the Irish countryside to the love affairs she has confronted since leaving for English shores. Wistful, wanton, this erotic reverie shows O'Brien to be one of the foremost heirs to modernism. "Very few writers use language as richly and sensuously . . . There are passages here worthy of Joyce" (Library Journal).

Yesterday was #nationalshelfieday and I missed it!

There was a bobble head calamity that induced me to tweak my bookshelves again, with one result being that #readordonate moved down a shelf. I found some alternative LFLs so donations are rolling again.

Baseball Vacations is just “squatting” on the shelf until I figure out where to put it!

julieclair I‘m sorry to hear about the bobble head calamity! But on the positive side, you are making great progress! I think I may copy your idea of having a dedicated #ReadOrDonate shelf. I spy Island of the Blue Dolphins on your shelf… that was one of my very favorite books as a child. 😀 9mo
