“With Anne Enright, we are always in the country of the first-rate. Her work is stark, clear, authoritative, funny and inventive. We come away from her books consistently refreshed and renewed.”—Colum McCann, winner of the National Book Award and best-selling author

One of the most significant writers today, Anne Enright is the inaugural Laureate for Irish Fiction and the internationally acclaimed, Booker Prize-winning author of The Gathering, a novel whose prose Colm Tóibín called “as sharp and brilliant as Joan Didion’s…as brave and original as Edna O’Brien’s.” Lauded for her “razor-sharp” prose (New York Times Book Review), Enright is a master of the contemporary novel; she remains unparalleled in her “beautiful, subtle examination of intimacy” (Wall Street Journal) in the modern world. For one evening only, Enright joins the Irish Arts Center to read from her newest book The Green Road—a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion—a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we learn to fill them.
