Read This: The Long Ireland of Colm Tóibín

Colm Tóibín is regarded as one of Ireland’s greatest authors — and for good reason. With a career spanning 30 years and 11 award-winning novels under his belt, Colm is beloved both at home and abroad. In his latest book, Long Island , Tóibín returns to familiar territory with a sequel to 2009’s best-selling Brooklyn . On this episode of Read This , he and Michael discuss what it means to write a sequel, the importance of James Baldwin’s writing, and, of course, Costco.
