Colm Tóibín is one of our most brilliant writers: a leading critic, an unparalleled novelist and a warm, witty and captivating speaker. He will be discussing his two latest books, his Folio Prize shortlisted, Nora Webster, and his biography of Elizabeth Bishop.

Nora Webster, set in Enniscorthy, harks back to Tóibín’s much-loved novels Brooklyn and Blackwater Lightship. Tóibín’s love letter to Ireland, Nora Webster is a superbly painted portrait of personal grief against a political backdrop of an Ireland in flux.
