Delighted to see @Glen_J_Brown's radical and ludic Mother Naked on the shortlist for the Republic of Consciousness Prize 🃏

Congratulations to @PressPeninsula for “Set in the fifth century & narrated by an irrepressible bard called Mother Naked, this novel is bawdy, funny & tragic. The voice of Mother Naked is entirely authentic. Both an entertaining read & a serious work of historical fiction.”

🖤The genius of The Visitor lies in [Brennan’s] refusal, as an artist, to paint a tale in black and white. While her characters may be selfish, cruel, frivolous or snobbish, there’s always something on the other side. A pain, an insult, a wound, a grief🖤 independent.ie/entertainment…

Maeve Brennan’s glittering shards pierce our prejudices in The Visitor and The Rose Garden

American Genius, A Comedy is a ‘captivating, strange novel’ narrated by ‘a postmodern successor to such endearingly digressive women as Winnie from Beckett’s Happy Days or Joyce’s Molly Bloom.’ 🖤 theguardian.com/books/2025/j…

Unfolding over 24 hours, this captivating novel set inside the head of a woman consumed by her obsessions is as engrossing as it is unusual
