Ship in Full Sail : The Laureate Lectures and Other Writings

Tóibín, Colm, 1955-2025
Books, Manuscripts
In 'Ship in Full Sail', Colm Tóibín's 'Laureate Lectures' bookend thirty-four essays, one written each month in the course of his tenure as Laureate for Irish Fiction (2022-2025). The myriad topics they embrace include Artificial Intelligence, reading Ulysses, the discomfort of Salman Rushdie in the wilds of County Dublin, Bob Dylan in concert, a life of Thom Gunn and the author’s role in a campaign to save the House of The Dead. The lectures themselves ruminate on abiding interests — traditional Irish music and the visual arts.
