Colm Tóibín’s Transatlantic Literary Worlds

The Guild Literary Complex is proud and excited to partner with the 2014 Chicago Humanities Festival to present Colm Tóibín’s Transatlantic Literary Worlds, a live interview with the award-winning author conducted by the Guild’s Director, John Rich. This special program also marks the celebration of two 25-year anniversaries, both for the Guild Literary Complex and the Chicago Humanities Festival.

In 2014, the Guild has made great strides to highlight the tribulations of writers living abroad—especially those living in exile. Many of Tóibín’s works of fiction and nonfiction address themes of living abroad and the creation/preservation on personal identity in the face of cultural and geographic clashes.

Tóibín is the author of 24 books and short stories, and in 2014 was named as a trustee to The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry, which awards the Griffin Prize for Poetry. He is currently the Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University.
