Colm Tóibín was born in Ireland in 1955. He is the author of ten previous novels, including The Master, Brooklyn, and The Magician, and two collections of stories. He has been three times shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2021, he was awarded the David Cohen Prize for Literature. Tóibín is the current Laureate for Irish fiction.
Tóibín writes prose of a heart-breaking beauty.
*Daily Telegraph*
Tóibín has the narrative poise of Brian Moore and the patient eye
for domestic detail of John McGahern, but he is very much his own
man.
*Observer*
High-class reportage . . . Tóibín was conscientious about talking
to real people, not just “names” with a good line in TV chat, and
went to see and hear and sense things at a local, grassroots
level.
