"Normal People"-author Sally Rooney's new novel "Intermezzo" is coming next week, also in Swedish translation. The Irish author was dubbed the voice of her generation and "a Snapchat-Salinger" after the success of "Normal People" which came out in 2019 and was also praised as a TV series. For The Guardian she talks about an attention she never wants to experience again.
Today, she has turned 33 years old and has left Dublin for the Irish countryside with her husband. She lives near the small town where she grew up.
I'm a very private person and like to fly under the radar, Rooney says to Irish Times and adds that she sometimes regrets not choosing to write under a pseudonym like Elena Ferrante.
