Colm Keane
Fiction
Colum McCann recently became the first Irish winner of the (US) National Book Award for Fiction for Let The Great World Spin, putting him in the company of Philip Roth, William Faulkner and John Updike. McCann uses Philippe Petit's legendary high-wire walk between the Twin Towers to tie together the stories of ten very different lives in New York. We also have new books from Colm Toibin, William Trevor, Robert Harris, Marian Keyes, Patricia Scanlan, Hilary Mantel and more.
Non-Fiction
In his first book since the enormously successful Judging Dev, Diarmaid Ferriter tackles the complex subject of sex and morality in modern Ireland, from the almost comical prudery of the Victorian middle classes to the tidal wave of deeply disturbing revelations about abuse in clerical institutions in the last decade. Fintan O'Toole, Shane Ross and Matt Cooper dissect the remains of the Celtic Tiger, Michael Palin makes it into film, and Joseph O'Connor continues his examination of that mystical beast, the Irish Male.
Sport
In spite of being the longest-running and most successful national coach in the history of Irish rugby, Eddie O'Sullivan remains a controversial figure. His autobiography gives his uncompromising account of the action behind the scenes and his ultimate resignation in 2008.
Food & Drink
Darina Allen returns with a fascinating and beautiful book explaining a host of cookery techniques that were once common knowledge but have fallen by the wayside with the growth of convenience foods. From making your own butter to baking your own bread to spread it on, it's all here. Pair it with Rachel Allen on Home Cooking, Rick Stein on the taste of the east or the definitive guide to pasta.
