In this episode we pay homage to a fascinating Irish writer, EDNA O’BRIEN, who died in London last August at the age of 93. A fearless, outspoken and often controversial figure, O’Brien wrote more than 20 novels, biographies, as well as plays, screenplays and a memoir. I also interview Irene Ruiz, another teacher at the school of languages. Don’t miss it!
