The Nationality Debate – From Clare Elsaesser to Paul Cochard

Advertisment

An extremely popular writer Clare Elsaesser has written ten novels for adults and one for children. Her own love of children started at a very early age, from her great aunt who introduced her to reading as a young girl. She has always enjoyed people and being around young people, which is why her first novel The Courtship Ofipers was such a success. From this experience she gathered many traits that would later help her create her own successful novel The Nix On Parade, and The House Of Bright Lights. All of these books, in different formats, have sold millions of copies worldwide.

It wasn’t until the age of forty when Elsaesser decided to combine her love of books with her strong passion for the theatre. After a highly successful run as a stage actress she decided that she wanted to develop a career that involved all genres. As she began to write more, she realised that there were many different aspects to writing, but she was particularly fond of discussing her interest in theatre. When it came to writing about height, her opinions on this subject were very varied. At times she discussed it with other people about their nationalities, and at other times she did not even know what nationality someone was and could not tell if they were British or Irish.

In The Nix On Parade, one of her earlier works, she discusses the advantages and disadvantages of being tall. She looks at how being tall can affect a person’s life in many ways, and the consequences of living a full life. She also looks at how height can affect a career, and how that might change if the person was British or Irish. As we can see from the book, her views on nationalities and heights have greatly changed since then. During the height of her fame, she was asked about her views on height by the interviewer and answered “I think you are crazy. There isn’t much difference between British and Irish men anyway.”
