The first collection of Booker Prize winner Anne Enright's non-fiction writing about culture, literature and her own life`A joy to read' MAGGIE O'FARRELL`Anne Enright might just be Ireland's greatest living writer' THE TIMES For thirty years Anne Enright has been paying attention: casting her lucid and distinctive gaze over the world, literature and her own life, and gifting us with her precise insights. Taking us from Ireland to Canada to Honduras, these essays delve into her family history, explore the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society and fiction, and offer new perspectives on writers including Alice Munro, Toni Morrison and James Joyce. Electrifying, probing and exuberant, this is a defining collection from one of our most distinguished literary voices. *A Book of the Year for the Observer, New Statesman and Independent* `One of the best essayists alive' MEGAN NOLAN, OBSERVER `Confirms the intelligence, compassion and humour of the mind behind the novels' INDEPENDENT `A glorious antidote to the mad, sad world' EIMEAR MCBRIDE `So alert, so attuned, so alive' LUCY CALDWELL
