Attention

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.

Taking us from Ireland to Canada to Honduras, these essays delve into her family history, explore the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society and fiction, and offer new perspectives on writers including Alice Munro, Toni Morrison and James Joyce.

Electrifying, probing and exuberant, this is a defining collection from one of our most distinguished literary voices.
