Anne Enright

    11. október 1962

    Anne Enrightová sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na zložitosť ľudských vzťahov a rodinné väzby, často zasadené do írskeho prostredia. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje prenikavým vhľadom do psychológie postáv a skúmaním skrytých emócií. Prostredníctvom svojej literárnej práce sa snaží odhaľovať pravdu o skúsenostiach a pamäti. Jej diela sú cenené pre svoju štylistickú vytriezvenosť a hĺbku.

      MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2007. The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam. It wasn't the drink that killed him - although that certainly helped - it was what happened to him as a boy in his grandmother's house, in the winter of 1968. The Gathering is a novel about love and disappointment, about thwarted lust and limitless desire, and how our fate is written in the body, not in the stars.

      'Elegant, scrupulously poised, always intelligent and, not least, original' Angela CarterThe characters in Anne Enright's fierce and witty first collection of stories stand at an oblique angle to society. Full of desire, but out of kilter, their response to a dislocated reality is mutinous, wild, unforgettable.
