Colm Tóibín’s “audacious, profound, and wonderfully intelligent” (The Guardian) work includes an impressive list of novels, short stories, essays, plays, poetry, and criticism.
His novels The Blackwater Lightship, The Master, and The Testament of Mary were shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and Brooklyn was adapted into the popular BAFTA Award-winning film of the same name. He is recipient of an Irish PEN Award, and is currently the Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University.
In The Magician, Tóibín joins research with imagination to present a fictionalized portrait of legendary German author Thomas Mann and his family amidst the violence of early 20th century Europe.

It`s always a pleasure to watch Colm Toibin talking, in the same way that it`s a pleasure to read his work.

Wonderful. I bought the book. Love the comments, love Colm's enthusiasm, find the dinner described fascinating, brilliantly told anecdote, love the characters, esp. the isolationist...lively and colorful.

I finally bought and read Brooklyn and then went on to read Nora Webster and The Blazing Heather and am captivated by the beauty of the writing, the description, the characters and the inner thought life of the beautiful characters. I feel like I am part of their lives and live in Ireland with them. I am a quarter of the way into The Master and I am missing the intimacy I felt with the characters of the first 3 novels. I hope it comes as I continue reading because Mr. Tòibìns novels have helped me through a time of great grief as the characters in his novels experienced. I lost the love of my life in July and I felt so much as these characters seemed to feel as they adjusted to their changed lives.
