An interview with Irish-born author Eimear McBride taken from our trip to Kerry last December for the Banter Salon at Other Voices. Eimear is the author of the fantastic debut novel “A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing”. Written nine years ago, the novel was rejected by mainstream publishers and was eventually published by Galley Beggar Press in Norwich. Acclaimed by reviewers, it was the winner of the first ever Goldsmiths Prize for fiction as well as being shortlisted for the inaugural Folio Prize and the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction.
