Catherine Martin said
(
about Edna O Brien
)
:
“The Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres is one of France’s greatest honours and I am so pleased that Edna O’Brien’s work and writing life is being recognised by France in this special way. Edna O’Brien is widely recognised in Ireland as a national treasure. In a career which spans an extraordinary six decades, her special use of words has gained a dedicated readership both in Ireland and abroad. In this week when we celebrate International Women’s Day, I would like to highlight Edna’s work in championing women’s rights and recognise the special influence on younger writers who followed her path”

(
about Edna O Brien
)
:
“It’s not clear how a kind remark in a Sunday paper took on a 60-year life as a formal honour… O’Brien said that she couldn’t recall, but blamed the carelessness of agents”

(
about Edna O Brien
)
:
“She has referred to her ‘peasant resilience’, and to neighbours ‘poorer even than us’… But Edna grew up in a large Arts and Crafts house; she and her three older siblings went to boarding school”
