REVIEW: TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Irish love story Normal People is exquisite

IN 2018, Sally Rooney’s Normal People became the go-to novel for twenty-somethings. A sparsely written tale of first love set in county Sligo and Dublin, it elevated the then 27-year-old Rooney to ‘Voice of a Generation’ status, seemingly overnight. I too was gripped by Rooney’s depiction of an on-again off-again relationship between two sixth form and then Trinity College students. As a recent university student, many of the characters and situations described in this book were all too familiar and fresh in my memory. If friends discarded Normal People as YA (Young Adult) fodder or criticised the ineptitude of the protagonists, it felt like a personal slight. Advertisement So, two years later, it was important to me that this television adaptation delivered. But thankfully, the joint BBC/Hulu production, available in its entirety on BBC iPlayer, is a classic in the making. The 12-part limited drama series follows Connell and Marianne over four tumultuous years, beginning in their final year of school. Paul Mescal…

(For fuller discussion read 3 issues of KT dated 27 to 29 April, 2020: Is Article 370 dead?)

Climate Targets and Industry Participation in the Recovery

By Henrik Poulsen, Mads Nipper, and Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen  COPENHAGEN – The COVID-19 pandemic must not lead governments to lower their climate ambitions.
