The award-winning Irish writer Colm Tóibín here shares his meticulous approach to writing, and how a novel can begin with – and build on – just one perfectly shaped sentence: “It moves into rhythm when you least expect it.”
“You could be on your holidays, or you could be on a Friday night about to go out, and suddenly would come a sentence. And the sentence would have the full weight of a novel in it – it’s like a melody.” When you have the inspirational sentence, it’s all about slow, careful work, where you put things into the book, while focusing on creating “a sort of melody that’s working in the prose, that isn’t monotonous or doesn’t draw the reader’s attention to it.” In order to avoid that it seems literary or forced, you have to constantly make decisions and excisions: “Working becomes a form of erasure as much as a form of addition.”
Colm Tóibín (b. 1955) is an Irish novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, journalist, critic and poet. Among his novels are ‘The Heather Blazing’ (1992), ‘The Story of the Night’ (1996), ‘The Blackwater Lightship’ (1999), ‘The Master’ (2004), ‘Mothers and Sons’ (2006), ‘Brooklyn’ (2009), ‘The Empty Family’ (2010) and ‘Nora Webster’ (2014). He is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards including the 2004 Lambda Literary Award (for ‘The Master’), the 2006 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award (for ‘The Master), 2009 Costa Novel Award (for ‘Brooklyn’) and the 2011 Irish PEN Award for contribution to Irish literature. Tóibín has also been shortlisted for the Booker Prize several times. He works as a professor at the Humanities at Columbia University in the U.S. For more about him see: http://www.colmtoibin.com/

“You have to write about the thing you’ll be the world’s greatest expert in.” In this humorous conversation award-winning authors and friends Richard Ford and Colm Tóibín discuss each other’s work and exchange the secrets to prose writing.
“I think writers have a duty to be silly when they’re not writing. And when they are writing, they have a duty not to be silly,” says Colm Tóibín in this in-depth conversation between two authors with intimate knowledge of each other’s work. American Richard Ford and Irish Colm Tóibín both teach writing at Columbia University in New York, USA, and here they discuss the differences in style, nationality and subject matter that divide them in a celebration of literature and writing. The authors also read from their novels ‘Let Me Be Frank With You’ (2014) and ‘Nora Webster’ (2014).

Novelist Colm Tóibín speaks with fellow novelist Colum McCann in this edition of HoCoPoLitSo's The Writing Life. Recorded in 1999, Tóibín speaks about his early novels, The South (1991), The Heather Blazing (1992), The Story of the Night (1997) and about his nonfiction, The Sign of the Cross: Travels in Catholic Europe (1994). Tóibín explains that one of the best things about writing is being able to lose yourself; he writes in longhand at art colonies like Yaddo to be able to feel the physical presence of his words. He reads from The South, and discusses and reads from The Story of the Night, about a gay man's struggle with his sexuality. He also discusses his travel book about Catholic Europe. In closing, McCann asks Tóibín what writer he would choose to be. For his words, Tóibín says, he would gladly be Henry James, but he would rather enjoy the life of Yeats.

Colm Tóibín
Colm Tóibín (Irish pronunciation: [ˈkɔl̪ˠəmˠ t̪ˠoːˈbʲiːnʲ]; born 30 May 1955) is an Irish novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, journalist, critic and poet.
Tóibín is currently Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and succeeded Martin Amis as professor of creative writing at the University of Manchester. He was hailed as a champion of minorities as he collected the 2011 Irish PEN Award. In 2011, he was named one of Britain's Top 300 Intellectuals by The Observer.
Early life
Tóibín's parents were Bríd and Michael Tóibín. He was born in 1955 in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, in the southeast of Ireland. He is the second youngest of five children. His grandfather, Patrick Tobin, was a member of the IRA, as was his grand-uncle Michael Tobin. Patrick Tobin took part in the 1916 Rebellion in Enniscorthy and was subsequently interned in Frongoch in Wales. Tóibín's father was a teacher who was involved in the Fianna Fáil party in Enniscorthy; he died when Colm was 12 years old.

“You have to write about the thing you’ll be the world’s greatest expert in.” In this humorous conversation award-winning authors and friends Richard Ford and Colm Tóibín discuss each other’s work and exchange the secrets to prose writing.
“I think writers have a duty to be silly when they’re not writing. And when they are writing, they have a duty not to be silly,” says Colm Tóibín in this in-depth conversation between two authors with intimate knowledge of each other’s work. American Richard Ford and Irish Colm Tóibín both teach writing at Columbia University in New York, USA, and here they discuss the differences in style, nationality and subject matter that divide them in a celebration of literature and writing. The authors also read from their novels ‘Let Me Be Frank With You’ (2014) and ‘Nora Webster’ (2014).
Colm Tóibín (b. 1955) is an Irish novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, critic and poet. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards including 2011 Irish PEN Award for his contribution to Irish literature. Tóibín has also been shortlisted for the Booker Prize several times.

Novelist Colm Tóibín speaks with fellow novelist Colum McCann in this edition of HoCoPoLitSo's The Writing Life. Recorded in 1999, Tóibín speaks about his early novels, The South (1991), The Heather Blazing (1992), The Story of the Night (1997) and about his nonfiction, The Sign of the Cross: Travels in Catholic Europe (1994). Tóibín explains that one of the best things about writing is being able to lose yourself; he writes in longhand at art colonies like Yaddo to be able to feel the physical presence of his words. He reads from The South, and discusses and reads from The Story of the Night, about a gay man's struggle with his sexuality. He also discusses his travel book about Catholic Europe. In closing, McCann asks Tóibín what writer he would choose to be. For his words, Tóibín says, he would gladly be Henry James, but he would rather enjoy the life of Yeats.
