Readers will savor every page of this book. Erudite essays from one of the world's finest writers.""--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review ""Tóibín's voice is so powerful and distinct, his descriptions so precise, that a single thread does weave through each of these pieces... a tantalizing glimpse into Tóibín's full fictional powers."" --Laura Hackett, The Sunday Times"
