In The Irish Times tomorrow, Anne Enright reflects on what Dublin means to her. Rosita Boland writes about how she loved Canadian author Alice Munro but now feels her literary legacy is tainted forever by her response to her husband’s sexual abuse of her daughter. Guy Hedgecoe looks into the new Latin American literary boom of woman writers. Mike Cronin, co-author of Revolutionary Times – Ireland 1913-23: The Forging of a Nation, writes about the hostile atmosphere at the recent Ireland-England soccer match, which he argues highlights lack of respect for ‘the other’ built into Partition. And there is a Q&A with crime writer Paul Williams about his career and his new book, Crooks: The Stories Behind the Headlines.

Reviews are Rory Kiberd on The Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong’s Greatest Dissident, and China’s Most Feared Critic by Mark L Clifford; Gemma Tipton on Architectural Tales by Dominic Stevens; Michael Cronin on the best new translations; Geoff Roberts on Lost Souls: Soviet Displaced Persons and the Birth of the Cold War by Sheila Fitzpatrick; Ruby Eastwood on The Rose Garden by Maeve Brennan; Adrienne Murphy on Unfortunately, She Was a Nymphomaniac: A New History of Rome’s Imperial Women by Joan Smith; Seán Duke on Richard Dawkins’ The Genetic Book of the Dead; and John Gibney on Power to the People: The Hot Press Years by Michael D Higgins.
