false 373108 1 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). 363025 Night total:5|5:3|4:2| 5 23 5 2 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 26 07:34:12 -0700 2007 Mon Jan 21 15:47:50 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon May 07 13:50:29 -0700 2007 Wed May 09 16:54:02 -0700 2007 Why is O'Brien barely mentioned now, except to those who go to school to study literature?
