An update on Lucy Irvine is published in the Independent, describing briefly her activity since publishing Castaway, which described her 1981 adventure on a deserted island. Irvine lives in rural Bulgaria among hills and plum trees, and relishes her isolation, though she returns to the UK to publicize her latest book. For a time she fluttered between reclusion and notoriety, and her biography is an interesting one, as are her books, giving an unusual approach to reclusion perhaps akin to proverbial writers and occasional celebrities rather than monks and hermits — classic “reclusion.”
