L
ara Marlowe is a leading journalist
on French politics and life, writing
as France correspondent for The
Irish Times where she has also
worked as US Correspondent.
Previously, the California-born writer spent
15 years as a journalist with TIME magazine,
rising to the position of Bureau Chief in
Beirut. Her 2013 book The Things Ive Seen
draws on her three decades as a foreign
correspondent in war-ravaged countries from
Afghanistan to Lebanon, to Yugoslavia and the
Palestinian territories.
In 1988, Marlowe married the late Robert Fisk, a hugely influential Middle East
journalist who she describes as the finest
of his generation. For over a decade they
worked together in war zones, surviving
encounters with gunmen at checkpoints,
sheltering together under bombardment
in Beirut, Belgrade and Baghdad. When
their marriage ended, Fisk divided his time
between Beirut and Dalkey, while Marlowe
settled in Paris, perfecting her French and
immersing herself in the culture of the
city, eventually becoming a French citizen
in 2019. In 2006, Marlowe was named a
Chevalier of the Légion dHonneur for her
contribution to Franco-Irish understanding.
Marlowe continues to write about all
aspects of French cultural and political life, and the things that bind Ireland to
La Belle France. According to Marlowe, Ireland needs France for its elegance,
sophistication, perfectionism, wine and cuisine. The Bretons need Ireland as their
Celtic mother country, and the rest of France needs Ireland to teach it simplicity,
fraternity and the ability to smile through adversity.
Marlowes feline companion of many years, Spike, died last year at almost 20
years of age. His life and antics had occasionally been mentioned in her Irish Times
pieces, one of which was selected as Leaving Certificate English exam text. She has
since become the owner of a Russian Blue kitten, Molly, who, like Marlowe, divides
her time between Paris and Dublin.
ON MY NEIGHBOURHOOD I have spent most of the past quarter-century in the
seventh arrondissement of Paris. Its a quiet neighbourhood of government ministries,
embassies, museums, 18th-century townhouses and 19th-century apartment
buildings. I stop to look at Notre Dame and the Louvre when I take the footbridge
across the Seine on early morning walks to the Tuileries. The people I encounter
daily my concierge, neighbours, the newspaper vendor, and shopkeepers give my
elegant district the feel of a friendly village. ON HOME Home is where my friends,
cat, books, and possessions are. My apartment is filled with carpets, inlaid furniture,
mirrors, and lamps that I lugged back from Beirut, Damascus, Marrakech and
Tehran. I found other treasures in the flea market at the Porte de Clignancourt, and
in an antique shop in a village in eastern France where I visit friends several times
a year. I can happily spend days at a time without going out, especially in winter.
Mentally, the English and French languages are my home. ON MY DESK I bought
my scratched old walnut desk with brass pulls on the drawers and a leather top at the
flea market in Basta, Beirut, in the 1990s. It faces a window looking due west, over
the garden of a government ministry. As I write this, the leaves are turning on the six-
storey-high chestnut trees. In winter, Ill see the top of the Eiffel Tower through
the bare branches. In spring, Ill watch the leaves bud, then turn into a wall of
green. A painting to the left of my desk, by the father of a close friend, reminds
me of my origins. It shows Bartholdis Statue of Liberty under construction,
surrounded by scaffolding and rising up over the rue de Chazelles, where I
lived when I landed my first job in Paris after university. To the right of my
desk is a cat tree where Molly, my Russian Blue kitten, plays and sleeps while
I am working. ON ROOTS I am a distillation of European emigration to the
US, including an Irish great grandmother called Callie Hurney. My ancestors
kept moving until they reached California, which is where I grew up. But
those roots have become distended as Ive advanced in life. I set down new
roots, in France and Ireland, and in the middle eastern countries where I lived
and worked. People take me for a foreigner everywhere I go, including in the
US. I feel foreign everywhere. I suspect that is a good thing for an aspiring
writer. ON WRITING Thomas Mann said writers were people for whom
writing is harder than it is for everyone else. I have always been in awe of real
writers and would feel pretentious to count myself among them. In fortuitous
moments, ideas and phrases rush into my mind in such rapid succession that I
race to write them down before they escape me. At other times, I am tormented
by the blank page and procrastinate. Michel Déon, who died in Galway five
years ago at the age of 97, told me he put off writing not out of fear, but to
prolong the anticipation of an act he considered a pleasure to be savoured.
ON LOVE IN A TIME OF WAR This book, a memoir of my late former
husband, the British journalist Robert Fisk, has been the focus of my
existence since Robert died unexpectedly on October 30, 2020. The Irish book
distributor Simon Hess read a piece that I wrote about Robert in The Irish
Times and contacted my agent, Jonathan Williams, and Neil Belton, the Irish
publisher at Head of Zeus in London. They asked me to write a book based
on that article. I initially declined, but I couldnt stop thinking about it. I took
three and a half months off work and shipped 50 kilos of archives to Howth,
including Roberts letters and books and my articles and diaries from the years
we were together. Robert and I had been divorced for eleven years when he
died, but those documents were incredibly evocative. I sorted everything into
chronological order and gradually reconstructed 20 years of my life, starting
with our first meeting in Damascus in 1983 and our four-year courtship,
during which I made the mistake of marrying someone else. I recount living
in Beirut with Robert during the last years of the Lebanese civil war and the
hostage crisis, reporting trips to revolutionary Iran, the Islamist revolt in
Algeria, the disintegration of former Yugoslavia, the 1991 and 2003 Gulf Wars
all this against the backdrop of our romance and eventual breakup. Despite
the sadness, the experience left me with renewed appreciation for Roberts
genius as a journalist, and gratitude for having known him. ON WHATS
NEXT Now that the book is out, I must concentrate on my day job. I look
forward to covering the French presidency of the EU, and especially the French
presidential election campaign between now and next April. After that, I dream
of writing a historical novel, set in 19th-century Paris ... n In conversation with
Orna Mulcahy. Love in a Time of War, My Years with Robert Fisk, is published
by Head of Zeus, 22.
