Colm Tóibín talks to Toby Lichtig

An unmissable opportunity for literature lovers to hear from one of this generation’s most celebrated writers. Colm Tóibín talks about his new short story collection, The News from Dublin, with the Times Literary Supplement’s politics and fiction editor Toby Lichtig.

Transporting us across continents and eras, the collection captures the complexities of family dynamics, the pull of the past and the quiet revelations that define ordinary lives. Tóibín is author of many novels, including Long Island, an Oprah’s Book Club Pick, and Brooklyn, which won the Costa Book Award and was adapted for a BAFTA-winning film starring Saoirse Ronan.
