Kate O'Brien
Kate O'Brien was born into a prosperous Limerick family in
1897. She began her writing career in 1926 and Without
My Cloak, a novel written in 1930, was her first best seller.
Other works include The Ante Room, That Lady, The
Land of Spices and The Last of Summer.
Although frequently returning to Limerick, the inspiration for much
of her work, Kate O'Brien spent the latter part of her life in England.
She died in 1974.
The Kate O'Brien Weekend 2003
In 1984 Arlen House held a seminar in Limerick to mark the tenth
anniversary of Kate O'Brien's death, Arising from the success of this
event, the Kate O'Brien Committee was formed and it was decided to
hold an annual literary weekend in Limerick in honour of the city's
most famous deceased author.
The theme of the nineteenth Kate O'Brien Weekend is The
Subversive Family.
