From one of our most distinguished literary voices, a defining essay collection blending personal reflection with urgent political writing and wideâranging cultural criticism.
For thirty years Anne Enright?one of our greatest living novelists (Times)?has been paying attention: casting her lucid and distinctive gaze across the world, literature, and her own life, and drawing us into her precise insights. These essays, collated from throughout Enrightâs career, take us from Galway to Honduras, from keenâeyed memoir to urgent political writing. Enright writes about the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society: she interprets Sophoclesâs Antigone through the lens of the Mother and Baby Homes in Galway; writes on Irelandâs successful 2018 referendum on abortion rights; and offers new perspectives on writers such as Alice Munro, Toni Morrison, James Joyce, Helen Garner, and Angela Carter.
    True to the themes that saturate her awardâwinning fiction, Attention explores the intersection between the personal and political, complex family dynamics, and the body in crystalline, urgent prose. This stunning collection unites Enrightâs cultural criticism, literary, and autobiographical writing for the first time.
