Colm Toibin

7pm Dalhousie Building, Old Hawkhill

We are very proud to welcome Colm Toibin to Dundee. Twice shortlisted for the Booker prize (for The Blackwater Lightship and The Master), he won the Costa novel of the year for Brooklyn in 2009. In addition to his novels he is a respected essayist and reviewer and has taught at Princeton, the University of Manchester and Columbia. He will be reading from and talking about his latest novel The Testament of Mary – the devastatingly moving story of the Virgin Mary, one of the most famous mothers in history but one rarely captured so vividly in fiction.
