📚 “that a book does not have to mirror your own experience, that words blowing on the wind, and that anything can come from any century and suddenly take you over imaginatively in a way that you didn't understand… that's what happened to me in that summer of 1974.” - #ColmToibin

Have this Enniscorthy chap for company on the commute this morning Not saying much but I know it will be a worthwhile encounter #ColmToibin #Picador #Readinglikebreathing
A book cover for Long Island, a novel by Colm Tóibín, bestselling author of Brooklyn. There is a woman to the left of the cover. She has long hair that’s in a curled bun at the back. On the right are two circles: the red one reads “Oprah’s Book Club 2024” and the gold one reads “Globe and Mail Best Book”. At the top it reads “international bestseller” and “A writer at the height of his considerable powers, a story of ordinary lives that contains multitudes. - The Guardian”
Part of yesterday’s enjoyable outing of course involved a bookstore. I’m about 1/3 through this already. I’ve enjoyed his other books so I’m not surprised. Brooklyn was outstanding. #colmtoibin #amreading #booksky

Just finished reading “Long Island” by Colm Toibin, who would’ve thought there could be such goings on in Enniscorthy #LongIsland #ColmToibin
Picture shows the book with a predominantly orange dust jacket, Long Island by Colm Tóibín, a mug with an orange cover, a water bottle with a wide orange band.
Bit of an unintentional early morning colour scheme going on. Up at 5:30am and in the garden with this lot.

Colm Tóibín las im #LiterischesColloqiumBerlin aus seinem ersten Gedichtband »Vinegar Hill«. So wie die Texte vorgelesen wurden, habe ich sie als schöne Kurzprosa gehört, weniger als Gedichte. #lesung #LCB #colmtoibin #volkerschlöndorff #michaelkrüger #VinegarHill
Beautiful story by Colm Tóibín in @newyorker.com - he reads it beautifully as well.
