The Kate O'Brien Weekend 26, 27 & 28 February 2010


Kate O'Brien Weekend 2010



Kate O'Brien was born into a prosperous Limerick family in 1897. She began her writing career in 1926 and Without My Cloak, a novel written in 1930, was her first best seller. Other works include The Ante Room, That Lady, The Land of Spices and The Last of Summer. Although frequently returning to Limerick, the inspiration for much of her work, Kate O'Brien spent the latter part of her life in England. She died in 1974.



The Kate O'Brien Weekend kicks off the 2010 Spring Calendar of literary events on Friday, February 26th. The theme of the twenty sixth Kate O'Brien Weekend is Outsiders.
