An Evening With Anne Enright
Sydney Writers' Festival- Add An Evening With Anne Enright: Thursday 22 May 2008, 8:15pm to your calendar Thursday 22 May 2008, 8:15pm
Dubliner Anne Enright’s fiction is jet dark – but how it glitters. The Gathering, her fourth novel and winner of the 2007 Man Booker Prize, is a story of family dysfunction that brilliantly delineates the wonder and horror of love with reckless intelligence, savage humour, slow revelation and no consolation. She talks with Ramona Koval. Presented by Man Investments.
Anne Enright was born in Dublin, where she now lives and works. Educated in Ireland and Canada, Anne went to Trinity College, Dublin. She left Ireland to attend the MA in Creative Writing at UEA and came back a producer/director in Irish television where she worked for several years.
She has published two collection of stories, The Portable Virgin, which won the Rooney prize, and Taking Pictures, and four previous novels, The Wig My Father Wore, What Are You Like?, The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch, which was short-listed for the Whitbread novel award and won the Encore Award and her family epic, The Gathering, which was recently awarded the 2007 Man Booker Prize. Her first work of non-fiction, Making Babies: Stumbling into Motherhood, was also published in 2004.
Anne Enright’s participation in Sydney Writers’ Festival is supported by Random House and Culture Island.
