Interviews

July 2010, Tana French
"Ireland is a really young country as a nation...Our past is considered quite embarrassing. Now we're modern, we're hip, we're happening. We've got triple-foam Frappuccinos now; we're not living on potatoes and cabbage." ...More

Quotes by Tana French

“I've always loved strong women, which is lucky for me because once you're over about twenty-five there is no other kind. Women blow my mind. The stuff that routinely gets done to them would make most men curl up and die, but women turn to steel and keep on coming. Any man who claims he's not into strong women is fooling himself mindless; he's into strong women who know how to pout prettily and put on baby voices, and who will end up keeping his balls in her makeup bags.”

“I had learned early to assume something dark and lethal hidden at the heart of anything I loved. When I couldn't find it, I responded, bewildered and wary, in the only way I knew how: by planting it there myself.”
― Tana French, In the Woods
