"[The biggest myth about writing] is that there’s any wildness attached to it. Writing tends to be very deliberate. A novelist could probably run a military campaign with some success. They could certainly run a country."
~ Colm Tóibín, born today, 1955.

'As she dropped by on her way back from a performance, I loved asking her if there had been a big crowd at the play. This is what you did in Enniscorthy, where I'm from. If anyone has been out anywhere--at mass, a football match, downtown, in Dublin, to the pub--you asked them: "Was there a big crowd?"'
📖 A Guest at the Feast: Essays by Colm Tóibín, p. 15

"Andersen was perhaps too young to know how memory and regret can mingle, how much sorrow can be held within, and how nothing seems to have any shape or meaning until it is well past and lost" —Colm Tóibín, The Master

"When everyone else had fire in their blood, he was calm. So calm that he could neither read nor think, merely bask in the freedom that the afternoon offered, savour, as deeply as he could, this quiet and strange treachery, his own surreptitious withdrawal from the world."

This was on the unread shelf too long, but the wait was worth it. It's uncommonly good.

Die @ZEITONLINE sieht das Ende eher positiv.
https://www.zeit.de/kultur/literatur/2024-07/long-island-colm-toibin-irland-migration-usa-roman
Warum bin ich so unzufrieden mit dem Ende, wo ich‘s doch bei Filmen wirklich mag und elegant finde, wenn sie in einem Schwebezustand enden? Liegt es daran, dass ich mich zwei Monate lang durch dieses Buch gekämpft habe und am Ende nicht mal ein Ende dafür bekomme?

"The air, as dusk came, grew yellow, like the fog in Prufrock that licks its tongue into the corners of the evening. At five o’clock, oddly enough, tennis balls I had ordered online were delivered."
Colm Tóibín on his experience of the fire in Los Angeles, and reflecting on its random cultural destuction. The Thomas Mann House intact, Gary Indiana's personal library, just tranferred from New York, lost.

CW: Colm Tóibín on the fascist Trump
‘…[He] fears that a Trump win in the election would be even more dangerous than before. “He’s both more unhinged and more controlled. He knows how you take the reins of government now, he isn’t on a learning curve,” Tóibín says.
“And he’s much more racist than anyone thinks he is, his sense of white entitlement is really extreme. So in many areas he will move very fast, he will move very brutally, and he will have enormous control.”
‘Everyone needs to do everything they can to stop Trump, he says of the growing “anti-Biden” sentiment among some American writers over the war in Gaza, “including holding their nose while voting for Joe Biden, if that’s what they need to do”.’

More Joyce stuff for those interested in his writing. The LRB put our a very interesting podcast a few months back with Colm Tóibín discussing Ulysses. Colm is a very engaging broadcaster.

Have you read Colm Tóibín's #WalterScottPrize shortlisted THE MAGICIAN? Colm is also the current Laureate for Irish Fiction and is a hugely busy man, so we were delighted that he sat down with us for an exclusive Q&A earlier this year, talking about the genesis of this novel about Thomas Mann. You can watch the whole video here http://bit.ly/WSPcolmqa

"A week later the phone rang and I was told that I had a cancer of the testicles that had spread to a lymph node and to one lung. Instead of seeing the urologist, I would now need to see an oncologist. For a few days I comforted myself by pretending that, because of my abiding interest in the mysteries and niceties of Being, I had to see an ontologist. Nobody except one of my fellow Irish novelists thought this was funny. "
