Secret Life of BooksHenry James 2: Colm Tóibín on Henry JamesOne of the world's favorite novelists, on his own favorite novelist. Colm Toibin has written many beloved novels, for which he has won many prestigious prizes. The novels include Brooklyn and Long Island; The Magician and The Master. This last is Colm's fictional recreation of Henry James' extraordinary career-save in which he bounced back from the failure of his West End play, Guy Domville, to write, in rapid succession, several of the greatest masterpieces of 19thC fiction. It takes confidence imaginatively to inhabit the mind and creative life of Henry James, the writer who, more than anyone...

Berggasse 8Colm Tóibín: Porträt des Meisters in mittleren Jahren
Schon zu Lebzeiten wurde Henry James »Der Meister« genannt, und schlicht »The Master« ist auch der Titel der Originalausgabe dieser Romanbiografie eines Schriftstellers, aus dessen Briefen und biografischen Äußerungen schon lange bekannt ist, dass er schwul war. Doch was bedeutete es, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts schwul zu sein? Anders als Oscar Wilde legte Henry James nicht nur äußersten Wert auf das Abschirmen seiner Privatsphäre, und niemals wäre er bereit gewesen, zu einem Thema wie Liebe unter Männern öffentlich Stellung zu nehmen. Die Brechung der Objektivität durch die menschliche Beobachtung, ihre indirekte und unsichere Erfassung und Darstellu...

Notes from America with Kai WrightAuthor Colm Toibin on James Baldwin’s InteriorityAward-winning Irish writer Colm Toibin has long admired James Baldwin, ever since he read “Go Tell It on the Mountain" as a teenager, and has now written a book about him called simply “On James Baldwin.” When he picked “Go Tell It on the Mountain" from a shelf years ago, Toibin hadn’t heard or read anything about the novel, one of Baldwin’s most famous works. And without any pretense, he found himself immersed in the book’s words and characters. Reading it later in life as an accomplished author and professor, Toibin’s respect grew for Baldwin’s skill at depicti...

SWR Kultur lesenswert - LiteraturColm Tóibín – Der Zauberer
Ich bin Anja Brockert, und auf meinem Herbst-Stapel liegt „Der Zauberer“ vom Colm Tóibín. Der irische Autor erzählt das Leben von Thomas Mann als Roman, schon vor drei Jahren erschienen, jetzt werde ich es zur Einstimmung ins Thomas-Mann-Jahr lesen: 2025 wird ja der 150. Geburtstag des „Zauberers“ gefeiert.
So wurde Thomas Mann bekanntlich von seinen Kindern genannt, Zauberer, und Tóibín erzählt natürlich von der ganzen Familie Mann, vor allem aber von der Zerrissenheit des Schriftstellers, zwischen künstlerischer Arbeit und Bürgerlichkeit, zwischen Familie und homosexuellem Begehren.
