Colm Tóibín’s new novel, Long Island, reunites us with the heroine of Brooklyn, 20 years after we bade her farewell. An explosive revelation propels Eilis from her American home back to Enniscorthy and unfinished emotional business.
Complication ensues, expertly described and explored by one of our greatest fiction writers. Colm in conversation with poet and novelist Elaine Feeney, discuss the processes which led to his many novels. This Talk was recorded live during Galway International Arts Festival 2024.
