Though she ultimately became one of Ireland's best-known columnists, her professional success did little to ease her loneliness and longing for a deep connection to the world. \u003ci\u003eAre You Somebody?\u003c\/i\u003e distills her experiences into a wisdom that can only come from an obstinate refusal to shrink from life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis commemorative edition of her landmark memoir celebrates O'Faolain's remarkable life and work with a new foreword from Frank McCourt as well as additional archival materials.
