Amanda McKittrick Ros was an Irish writer who is famous for creating "serious literature" so uncommonly and astonishingly bad that it is utterly hilarious to read. She is a cult figure in the world of words, inspiring "attempts" at imitation and enjoying the admiration of many famous literary figures.
Universally considered to be the best worst writer in the history of the English language, Amanda McKittrick Ros gained much of her fame and reputation from Irene Iddesleigh, her first novel.
Journey with Irene through many dramatic situations: love interests, questionable decisions, imprisonment, escape, fortunes won and lost, and many dramatic deaths - all told in the unmistakably, terribly, hilariously awful and wonderful writing of Amanda McKittrick Ros.
Some sample snippets from Irene Iddesleigh:
" When on the eve of glory, whilst brooding over the prospects of a bright and happy future, whilst meditating upon the risky right of justice, there we remain, wanderers on the cloudy surface of mental woe, disappointment and danger, inhabitants of the grim sphere of anticipated imagery, partakers of the poisonous dregs of concocted injustice. Yet such is life."
"Speak! Irene! Wife! Woman! Do not sit in silence and allow the blood that now boils in my veins to ooze through cavities of unrestrained passion and trickle down to drench me with its crimson hue!"
The Amanda McKittrick Ros Society has painstakingly and faithfully reproduced Irene Iddesleigh (with a new cover that captures the elegance and mystery of Irene) in both softcover and ebook formats, meaning you can now inexpensively add this timeless tome to your collection and enjoy this unbelievable tour de force of delightfully unexpected writing by yourself and with kindred spirits.
