'I feel about [The Unicorn], as I did about A Severed Head which I was so tiresome about, fearing that it may be just a quite private thing which others will regard with surprise or dislike.' [cite]

'The Unicorn is set between two famous landmarks on the west coast of Ireland, the cliffs of Moher and the limestone country of the Burren. (John Bayley tells us in his memoir Iris that she conceived the idea of the novel on a visit they made to this area [in 1958/59]).'
