![]() ![]() Allyson McCabe believes it’s time to reassess our old judgments about Sinéad O’Connor and to expose the machinery that built her up and knocked her down.Īddressing triumph and struggle, sound and story, Why Sinéad O’Connor Matters argues that its subject has been repeatedly manipulated and misunderstood by a culture that is often hostile to women who speak their minds (in O’Connor’s case, by shaving her head, championing rappers, and tearing up a picture of the pope on live television). For many people-including, for years, the author-what they knew of O’Connor stopped there. Two years later, an appearance on Saturday Night Live turned her into a scandal. In 1990, Sinéad O’Connor’s video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” turned her into a superstar. A stirring defense of Sinéad O’Connor’s music and activism, and an indictment of the culture that cancelled her. ![]() ![]() ![]() Using her poetic imagination, the author creates fictitious monologues from various points of view, including the fence Matthew was tied to, the stars that watched over him, the deer that kept him company, and Matthew himself.

I found my non-fiction reads more appealing and the result was slow progress with this one, until I gave the book the attention it deserved. This is a 400-page novel and I found the first 150 pages or so were, to use an appropriate metaphor, bowled at medium pace. Usually I try to have one work of fiction and one of non-fiction on the go, (and I often have an audiobook underway as well). I’m one of those readers who is in the habit of trying to read more than one book at a time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Starting with the first of the 12 book series, HANGMAN BLIND, published by John Murray in 2008, this is the story of Hildegard, a young widow, who chooses to join the powerful Cistercian Order and is soon embroiled in the plots and counter plots of the war-mongering barons as they attempt to control the under-age king.
