"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."
—Colm Tóibín, The Master

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
