This collection of essays examines the intersections of politics, literature, and personal experience. Tóibín reflects on the life and work of writer John McGahern, explores his own cancer diagnosis, and discusses themes such as law, religion, and the intricacies of fiction. The essays delve into settings like a tourist-free Venice and the troubled streets of Buenos Aires. Through these reflections, Tóibín highlights the impact of literature on individual identity and offers insights into history, family dynamics, and the complexity of human emotions.
