Colm Toibin reads from The Empty Family | Castro

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Irish novelist Colm Toibin will be joining us to share from his new book The Empty Family.

Toibin returns to his native shores for the bulk of these nine stories, all—except one—are contemporary tales of lives haunted by loss. Affairs, airports, and deathbeds populate a mature prose that is as tender with descriptions of sexual (often gay) love, as it is with the heart’s more inexpressible reaches.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Colm Toibin is the author of several books, including The Master, Brooklyn, and The Blackwater Lightship, which was shortlisted for the 1999 Booker Prize. He lives in Dublin.
