Beskrivelse
A striking collection of short stories by Colm Tóibín exploring lives shaped by distance and longing. The News from Dublin reveals the quiet struggles of those far from home and their pasts.
A compelling exploration of memory, identity, and displacement through interconnected tales.
In The News from Dublin, bestselling author Colm Tóibín, known for Brooklyn and Long Island, presents a powerful and moving series of stories. These narratives capture the experiences of people living far from their origins, grappling with the weight of their histories and former selves.
The collection features a woman in Galway who learns of her son's death during the First World War; an Irishman hiding in Barcelona, tormented by his past crimes; a man traveling from Enniscorthy to Dublin to seek a special favour from the Minister for Health; and a young woman facing pregnancy amid the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War.
Other stories include an undocumented worker forced to abandon his life and child in San Francisco after three decades, and three sisters who decide to leave Argentina to return to Catalonia.
As Clare Clark from The Guardian notes, Tóibín is a masterful explorer of the inner self, skillfully capturing the unspoken thoughts of his characters with subtle sharpness and a touch of sly humour.
