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

“I am not good at noticing when I'm happy, except in retrospect.”
Tana French, In The Woods

“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. (307)”
Tana French, In The Woods

“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.”
Tana French, Faithful Place
