The New York Times claims it featured "one of the best author photographs of the 20th century."[1] That cover was reprinted on the cover of her 2012 memoir Country Girl.
Upon publication August Is a Wicked Month, as with most of O'Brien's early books, was banned in several jurisdictions, including by Ireland's strict Catholic rulers.[2][3]
The title is regularly mentioned to this day by commentators on topics ranging from business and politics to fashion and weather.[4][5][6][7]
