Guests of the Gallery Circle were treated to a delightful and yet thought provoking evening with celebrated Irish Author, Edna O’Brien.

Ms. O’Brien, whose work has received scores of awards, saw her books banned in the repressed Ireland of the 50’s and 60’s. She however always reflected Ireland in her novels and plays and is now a celebrated Hero at home.

The night was delightful and utterly memorable. Ms. O’Brien truly charmed our guests and connected them with their heritage in a special and profound way. However, she did so with a lovely warm and light touch thus allowing people to reflect deeply but in a relaxed manner. As a result, the atmosphere was so convivial and nobody was in a rush to leave.

On behalf of the Fund, host Loretta Brennan Glucksman thanks Ms. O’Brien for a very very special evening.
