Although the O’Briens, MCardles, and Braziers led usually unremarkable lives, a few individuals were subject to strange fates. The story of Anne O’Brien was told in Anne’s Head (Dial Press), a well-received historical novel, and Georgie, Angel of Cell-Block Six is based on the account of the author’s mother of the boy’s curious fate, documented with the generous cooperation of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, whose front page more than once pictured large photos of Georgie.
Carol O’Brien Blum, professor of French at Stony Brook University for forty years, has also published a number of works concerning moral questions in eighteenth-century France (Diderot, the Virtue of a Philosopher, Viking Press; Rousseau and the Republic of Virtue, Cornell UP; Strength in Numbers: Population, Reproduction, and Power in Eighteenth-Century France; Johns Hopkins University Press).voir moins
