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 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*
Having lived in Barcelona off and on since the 70s, Toibin knows
all the fascinations of its sensuous Mediterranean history and
lifestyle and “the most precious jewels in the city’s treasury of
bars” . . . Tóibín is the perfect guide.
