We published her powerful and haunting memoir, Giving up the Ghost, in our series of SF Editions and, inВ Episode 31В of the Slightly Foxed podcast, we recommended her darkly inventive novel, An Experiment in Love. Hilary MantelВ is now best known for her Thomas Cromwell trilogy, but weвЂ™d like to put the spotlight on a selection of other riches from her writing life. We hope to introduce, or reintroduce, you to all those wonderful books that languish on publishersвЂ™ backlists. Hilary MantelвЂ™s early novels get overlooked now and it is one of the joys ofВ Slightly FoxedВ that it highlights areas like this.вЂ™ As you know, dear readers, Slightly FoxedВ is the literary magazine for people who donвЂ™t want to read only what the big publishers are hyping and the newspapers are reviewing. вЂI was so glad to hearВ An Experiment in LoveВ by Hilary Mantel praised.

From a delicious account of a visit to Don Otavio in Mexico and vivid reportage of the Lady ChatterleyвЂ™s Lover obscenity trial to the autobiographical novel Jigsaw, we see the world through BedfordвЂ™s observant eye and voracious appetite. Claiming to suffer from sloth and love of life, she deified her friend Aldous Huxley, had assets frozen by the Nazi regime, was funded by Martha Gellhorn and was known for her many lovers, all while experiencing the вЂtearing, crushing, defeating agonyвЂ™ of writing. The daughter of a German Baron, from childhood Bedford travelled endlessly, living in Germany, Italy, France, Portugal and Britain. In this monthвЂ™s literary podcast the Slightly Foxed team discover the pleasures and landscapes of BedfordвЂ™s life, loves and writing with her biographer, Selina Hastings. The twentieth-century European writer Sybille Bedford could be many things: traveller, gourmand, oenophile, court reporter, Booker Prize-shortlisted novelist. вЂI wondered for a time who this brilliant вЂњMrs BedfordвЂќ could be,вЂ™ wrote Evelyn Waugh to Nancy Mitford on reading Sybille BedfordвЂ™s first novel, A Legacy. This is a profoundly moving, honest and compassionate memoir, remarkably devoid of self-pity, though not of anger. Only with hindsight can George discern the complex reasons for his familyвЂ™s destruction, and for the whole appalling waste of war. Barely four years later, Georg Klaar had become George Clare and was serving in the British army, and his parents had been rounded up and taken to Auschwitz. Austria was now betrayed and had been annexed by the German Third Reich. But on 11 March, lorries began thundering into the streets, filled with uniformed men waving swastikas and shouting вЂDeath to JewsвЂ™. It was the first ball ever attended by the 17-year-old Georg Klaar, and he stayed until the very last waltz. In February 1938, the grand Konzerthaus in Vienna was in full, glorious swing bands were playing, there was dancing and singing and plenty of beer.

Introducing the latestВ addition to the Slightly Foxed Editions list,В No. As I sheltered from the rain, by now rather less soft than itвЂ™s fabled to be, in the lee of that notable wall, it struck me as the perfect summation of the entire Anglo-Irish predicament. FarrellвЂ™s sublime tragicomedy about the dying days of IrelandвЂ™s Protestant Ascendancy. That precise phrase recurs, to pointed and poignant effect, in Troubles, J.

I was, briefly, bemused on reflection, quite the opposite. Said wall, it explained, replaced one that had collapsed вЂfor no apparВent reasonвЂ™. The castle is a fairytale sight but what caught my eye, given pride of place on one distinctly ancient and sturdy-looking wall, was a plaque. TowВering over the steep, wooded banks of the Blackwater, it was built nearly 900 years ago by an English prince, was once owned by Sir Walter Raleigh and has been the Irish seat of the Dukes of Devonshire since the eighteenth century.

On one of my more recent trips to IreВland, I took a detour through County Waterford to visit Lismore Castle.
