Vive Moi
A Portrait of Sean O'Faolain
'I am now 76 years old and I began writing when I was 22 so that's about 54 years -I guess that I have left about ten stories that will last. I'm satisfied'
(SEAN O'FAOLAIN )
Sean O'Faolain is one of the most distinguished of Irish short story writers. He has also written novels, historical works and an autobiography Vive Moi. In tonight's programme he talks to Melvyn Bragg about his life as a revolutionary, academic and writer; to illustrate his work there are three dramatisations of his stories by HUGH LEONARD.
