What would happen if more of us copied the Irish novelist and stopped reading men? Perhaps women would start to be recognised as intellectuals
There may be a good few conniptions in Ireland at the moment, so can Marian Keyes be put in charge, please? It is rare to hear a woman talk so much sense in a way that doesn’t seem to put men’s backs up. It is not a knack I have ever mastered (or tried to master, to be fair). But then Keyes, a “lady writer”, is able to tell searing truths in a way that make them seem, well, just … obvious.
While talking recently about her latest novel, Grown Ups, she said: “I only read women. I know that men write books. But their lives are so limited. It’s such a small and narrow experience.” Please don’t reel off a list of great male writers to me. I have read them. That was called education.
