turns out i was wrong in thinking this was going to be about feminism and it's evolution in ireland.
it had a lot of name dropping of people i never heard of, and her talking about having sex with jerks.
bo-ring.

Interesting and compelling memoir by Irish journalist who was rubbing elbows with authors, poets, journalists, and cultural influencers her entire life. Could come off as name-dropping but i thought it was more of a lively recollection. Lots of reflection on being childless and unmarried— both positive and negative. A delight to read. I’ll be reading the follow up.

The swan song of a prominent lost woman adrift in important times. A ballad for any lost, wondering souls.
