Colm Tóibin was born in Ireland in 1955, and lives in Dublin. He is the author of four novels, including the 1999 Booker nominated The Blackwater Lightship. His non-fiction includes Bad Blood, Homage to Barcelona, The Sign of the Cross, and, most recently, Love in a Dark Time.
Tóibín has the narrative poise of Brian Moore and the patient eye
for domestic detail of John McGahern, but he is very much his own
man.
*Observer*
Having lived in Barcelona off and on since the 70s, Toibin knows
all the fascinations of its sensuous Mediterranean history and
lifestyle and “the most precious jewels in the city’s treasury of
bars” . . . Tóibín is the perfect guide.
