"To date no full-length studies of Colm Toibin's work have been published in Ireland or overseas, and only a few short essays have appeared in specialist academic journals and general surveys of recent Irish literature. This collection of essays fills this noticeable gap in contemporary criricisrn, and provides an illuminating exploration of many of the themes and concerns which have engaged Toibin ever since the publication of his first book, Walking Along the Border (1987). The collection provides a series of reflections and includes essays by some of the most prominent figures currently working in Irish Studies. The book also includes a lengthy interview of Toibin conducted by his former Magill associate, Fintan O'Toole."--BOOK JACKET.
