For thirty years Anne Enright has been paying attention: casting her lucid and distinctive gaze across the world, literature and her own life, and gifting us with her precise insights. Anne Enright has aways been alert to the places where public and private meet, where individual lives are caught by, or alter, the sweep of history. These essays, collated from across Enright's career, take us from Dublin to Galway, Canada to Honduras, and through voices, bodies and time. They delve into Enright’s own family history, and explore the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society and fiction. Enright has spent a lifetime reading as well as writing, and she offers new perspectives on writers including Alice Munro, Toni Morrison, James Joyce, Helen Garner and Angela Carter. Attention brings Anne Enright’s wide-ranging cultural criticism, literary and autobiographical writing together for the first time. In Enright’s fiction, speech can transform, rupture, enliven and liberate. In these essays, she speaks to us directly. Electrifying, probing and exuberant, this is a defining collection from one of our most distinguished literary voices.
For thirty years Anne Enright has been paying attention: casting her lucid and distinctive gaze across the world, literature and her own life, and gifting us with her precise insights. These essays, collated from across Anne Enright's career, take us from Galway to Honduras, from keen-eyed memoir to urgent political writing. Enright writes about the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society: she interprets Sophocles' Antigone through the lens of the Mother and Baby Homes in Galway, writes on Ireland’s successful 2018 referendum on abortion rights, and offers new perspectives on writers including Alice Munro, Toni Morrison, James Joyce, Helen Garner and Angela Carter. Attention brings Anne Enright’s wide-ranging cultural criticism, literary and autobiographical writing together for the first time. Explorations of the intersection between the personal and political, the subtleties of bodily autonomy, complex family dynamics and the challenges of intimacy preoccupy Anne Enright's award-winning and critically acclaimed fiction. Here we see Enright grappling with and answering these questions in her non-fiction. It is a defining collection from one of our most distinguished literary voices.
"Anne Enright höjer sig över massan av moderna relationsromaner." DN"Gärdsmygen är en magnifik roman" Sally RooneyNell McDaragh kände aldrig sin morfar, den berömda poeten Phil McDaragh. Men hans dikter tycks tala direkt till henne. Impulsiv, rastlös, och självsäker på ett sätt som man bara kan vara om man är tjugotvå, lämnar Nell sitt barndomshem för att leva en liv på egna premisser i Dublin. Här ska hon leva ett bohemiskt och hitta till sin egen röst som författare. Hon festar, trasslar in sig i destruktiva romanser och får snart jobb som spökskrivare till en känd influenser. Nells mamma Carmen hamnar i existentiell kris när hennes dotter lämnar hemmet och hemsöks av sitt förlutna. Över hela familjen McDaragh vilar en skugga av Carmens far Phil - geniet, poeten, skojaren och förföraren. Mannen som var expert på vackra ord, men som på hemmaplan var en självupptagen mobbare av rang och som en gång lämnade sin cancersjuka fru med två små barn - Carmen och hennes syster. Gärdsmygen handlar om tre generationer kvinnor i familjen McDaragh, tre kvinnor som alla försöker försonas eller göra upp med det avgrundsdjupa hål av förlust och ilska som den självupptagna Phil McDaragh grävt i deras familj. Det är sorgligt, humoristiskt och skarpt. Gärsmygen är en underbar roman om att ärva erfarenhet av förlust, trauma och överlevnadsinstinkt. Men det är också en berättlese om hur vi kan laga varandra, om alla de band som trots allt binder familjen McDaragh samman.

Babies: our biggest mystery and our most natural consequence, our hardest test and our enduring love. The author describes the intensity, bewilderment and extravagant happiness of her experience of having babies, from the exhaustion of early pregnancy to first smiles and becoming acquainted with the long reaches of the night.
Rosaleen Madigan meddelar sina fyra vuxna barn att detta blir den sista julen i huset, sedan ska deras barndomshem säljas. Alla bestämmer sig för att komma hem. Den stundande förändringen gör att det känns som om deras historia håller på att raderas ut och familjen Madigan hamnar i ett vägskäl som består av att komma varandra närmare eller fortsätta vara som främlingar för varandra. Den gröna vägen är ett uppskakande och samtidigt underhållande familjedrama från en liten stad vid den irländska atlantkusten. Den mörka och skimrande berättelsen spänner över trettio år och är en historia om uppbrott, egoism, medkänsla och starka men inte helt enkla familjeband. Det är en välskriven, intelligent roman om sorg och kärlek från Irlands största författare.
