Efacis "Listening to Mary O'Donnell speak about the Gothic dimensions of her fiction and discuss her novels from both a critical and deeply personal perspective offered invaluable insight into her writing practice, and underscored the continuing relevance of the Gothic as a powerful tool for literary and imaginative liberation."

"It was a true priviliege to attend the discussion session with Mary O'Donnell. Discovering Gothic literature through the perspective of such a distinguished author was an inspiring and intellectually enriching experience. The intimate and open conversation created a space for deep reflection on literature, creativity, and academic life. Mary O'Donnell's speech at the university was exceptionally insightful, bright, and informative. Her reflections on writing and literary tradition have strongly influenced my academic and personal aspirations. After this encounter, I feel genuinely motivated to pursue a PhD doctorate and to continue developing a writing career more seriously. Being able to communicate directly with an author of her level was a rare pleasure and an unforgettable experience. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from her work, her ideas, and her generosity as a speaker."
