Frank O'Connor (born Michael Francis O'Donovan; 17 September 1903 – 10 March 1966) was an Irish writer of over 150 works, best known for his short stories and memoirs. The Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award is named in his honour.
Raised in Cork, the only child of Minnie (née O'Connor) and Michael O'Donovan, he attended North Monastery CBS. O'Connor's early life was marked by his father's alcoholism, debt, and ill-treatment of his mother. His childhood was shaped in part by his mother, who supplied much of the family's income by cleaning houses, because his father was unable to keep steady employment due to his drunkenness. O'Connor adored his mother and was bitterly resentful of his father. In his memoirs, he recalled his childhood as "those terrible years", and admitted that he had never been able to forgive his father for his abuse of himself and his mother. When his mother was seventy, O'Connor was horrified to learn from his own doctor that she had suffered for years from chronic appendicitis, which she had endured with great stoicism, as she had never had the time nor the money to see a doctor.

Today GamerJlee takes a look at a recent interview with Frank O'Connor from 343 industries, and his apologizes for the lack of Master Chief in Halo 5: Guardians.

I wasn't going to put this up but I was persuaded by my wife and a couple of friends. If you read it or listen you'll never forget it. If you want to learn how to write a short story, you could do worse than use this as a model. However hard you try, you'll probably never do as well. I find the lesson in human empathy of more value than that in storytelling. "Caffler" is slang from Cork in Ireland where Frank was born and raised. It means according to www.corkslang.com - and I'm not a man to be pulling your leg, there is indeed a site with that name - "a young rogue, an impish, saucy young fellow, an impertinent boy." If you go to www.corkslang.com you can learn what "feck" means and how to play it, and it seems easy enough if you're not an "ownshuck" and have the "spondulicks"....
Frank O' Connor talks about the differences in studio culture between Bungie and the new masters of Halo, 343 Industries.
