ALL ARE WELCOME



The UCC English Literature Society is delighted to welcome Ian
Patterson and Jenny Diski to Cork.


JENNY DISKI was born in London in 1947. She was educated at University
College, London, and worked as a teacher during the 1970s and early
1980s. She is a regular contributor to The Observer and the London
Review of Books.

Her first novel, Nothing Natural, the story of a single parent locked
in an abusive relationship, was published in 1986 (reissued 2003).
Subsequent novels include Rainforest (1987), in which a female
anthropologist is shocked by her discoveries about human nature; Then
Again (1990), a complex narrative exploring the life of a persecuted
Jewish girl living in fourteenth-century Poland; Happily Ever After
(1991), the story of the relationship between an eccentric old woman
and her landlord, a middle-aged alcoholic; and The Dream Mistress
(1996), set in contemporary London, about three women whose stories
are loosely connected: Mimi, Leah - the mother who abandoned her -and
Bella, a tramp who Mimi saves at the beginning of the novel. The
Vanishing Princess (1995) is a collection of short stories.

She published a volume of autobiography, Skating to Antarctica, in
1997, which was shortlisted for the Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize
for Non-Fiction, and a book of essays, Don't, in 1998. Jenny Diski is
also the author of two television plays, A Fair and Easy Passage,
written for Channel 4 television, and The Ultimate Object of Desire.

Stranger on a Train: Daydreaming and Smoking around America with
Interruptions (2002), a travelogue narrating a railway journey around
the United States, is the winner of the 2003 Thomas Cook Travel Book
Award. A View from the Bed (2003) is a compendium of essays and
literary reviews. Her novel, Only Human: A Comedy (2000), reworks the
biblical story of Abraham and Sarah told in Genesis, chapters 11 to
22, and After These Things (2004) continues the story, centring on the
relationship between Abraham's son Isaac and Isaac's son Jacob. Her
non-fiction book, On Trying to Keep Still, was published in 2006.

Jenny Diski lives in Cambridge. Her recent books include Apology for
the Woman Working (2008) and The Sixties (2009)
