The Cinema Arts Centre is honored to present an evening with the world renowned Irish novelist Colm Tóibín, along with his newest book, The News from Dublin: Stories, and a special screening of Brooklyn. The acclaimed film, based on Colm Tóibín’s eponymous, New York Times bestselling novel, stars the incandescent Saoirse Ronan in her second Academy Award nominated performance, this time for Best Actress, while the film itself garnered the coveted nomination for Best Motion Picture.
In The News from Dublin: Stories, Tóibín – lauded as “his generation’s most gifted writer of love’s complicated, contradictory power” (Los Angeles Times) and “simply one of the world’s best living literary writers” (Boston Globe) – demonstrates his ability to summon an extraordinary intensity of emotion in each of these eleven achingly beautiful short stories. His mastery of this difficult genre has led critics to liken them to “miniature novels, so assuredly paced and plangent in tone that it is no exaggeration to compare them to Joyce’s classic Dubliners” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
