Colm Tóibín - Author (2015x68)

Ausstrahlung: Mai 29, 2015

Stephen Sackur speaks to an Irish writer whose intense, lyrical novels have won him awards, acclaim and millions of readers around the world. Colm Tóibín isn't so much a flamboyant storyteller, he is more an acute observer of character and the deepest human feelings. There are recurring themes in his work of loss, mourning and exile which might suggest a dark, brooding presence - but how close is that to the real Colm Tóibín?
