Frank O'Connor
Frank O'Connor (born Michael Francis O'Donovan; 17 September 1903 – 10 March 1966) was an Irish writer of over 150 works, best known for his short stories and memoirs. The Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award is named in his honour.
==Early life==
Raised in Cork, the only child of Minnie (née O'Connor) and Michael O'Donovan, he attended North Monastery CBS. O'Connor's early life was marked by his father's alcoholism, debt, and ill-treatment of his mother. His childhood was shaped in part by his mother, who supplied much of the family's income by cleaning houses, because his father was unable to keep steady employment due to his drunkenness. O'Connor adored his mother and was bitterly resentful of his father. In his memoirs, he recalled his childhood as "those terrible years", and admitted that he had never been able to forgive his father for his abuse of himself and his mother.〔O'Connor, Frank, ''My Father's Son'' (Pan Books edition 1971) p.136〕 When his mother was seventy, O'Connor was horrified to learn from his own doctor that she had suffered throughout her life from chronic appendicitis, which she had endured with great stoicism, as she had never had the time nor the money to see a doctor.〔''My Father's Son'' p.133〕
