From a couple years back, but I just ran across it now.

Edna O’Brien Is Still Writing About Women on the Run
By Ian Parker

Edna O’Brien, the Irish writer of novels and short stories, doesn’t type. She wrote her new novel, “Girl,” which is about a Nigerian teen-ager, on loose sheets of paper, in a corner of her living room, in London, amid orchids, embroidered cushions, and a framed quote from Yeats’s “The Celtic Twilight.” Every Monday for three years, a typist who has worked with O’Brien for decades came to the house, and O’Brien dictated new pages.

Thanks, I enjoyed reading it.

Her interviews with The Duchess of Cornwall in the Reading rooms are worth watching. She out regaled Camilla, she has quite a presence.Her son also writes and I know I have a book of his somewhere.
