Nuala O'Faolain, author of the bestselling memoir Are You Somebody, died on May 9 in Dublin. She was 68. Learning that she had terminal cancer just eight weeks before her death she declined treatment and instead embarked "on a last visit to her favorite cultural landmarks" with a small group of friends, traveling to Paris, Madrid, Berlin and Sicily. In a radio interview on April 12 she said, "Even if I gained time through the chemotherapy, it isn't time I want. Because as soon as I knew I was going to die soon, the goodness went out of life." The April interview with O'Faolain is available on the RTÉ Radio 1 website (Program 29).
