O'Connor, Frank

O'Connor, Frank
orig. Michael O'Donovan

(1903, Cork, cond. Cork, Irlanda–10 mar. 1966, Dublín).

Escritor y crítico irlandés. Criado en medio de la pobreza, llegó a ser bibliotecario y director del teatro Abbey de Dublín. Se hizo conocido en EE.UU. por sus cuentos, en los que incidentes aparentemente triviales iluminan la vida de los irlandeses. Se recopilaron en títulos como Guests of the Nation [Invitados de la nación] (1931) y Crab Apple Jelly [Mermelada de maguillo] (1944), o aparecieron en la revista The New Yorker. O'Connor escribió asimismo estudios críticos sobre literatura y la vida irlandesas, y tradujo al inglés obras en gaélico de los s. IX a XX, incluyendo la gran sátira del s. XVII The Midnight Court [El cortejo de medianoche] (1945).
