- Title
"Your Notes to Self are also Notes to Others": A Conversation with Emilie Pine.
- Authors
Mar González-Arias, Luz
- Abstract
Emilie Pine is Professor of Modern Drama at University College, Dublin (UCD) and the author of Notes to Self (Tramp Press, 2018), her very successful collection of personal essays. As an academic, she has published extensively in the fields of memory and drama; as an essayist, her work takes us to territories that have been traditionally silenced or edited out of the collective imaginary, both in Ireland and beyond. Her first novel, Ruth & Pen, which will be published in May 2022, explores themes as volatile as infertility, how it affects relationships and how climate change impacts on our 21st-century lives. This interview focuses on Pine's career as a university lecturer and professional writer. It touches upon some of the themes dealt with in her celebrated collection of essays: her father's alcoholism, medical and hospital experiences, mental health issues and the eating disorders that she experienced in her early years.
