Books by Colm Tóibín

3. Colm Tóibín , On Elizabeth Bishop .  A good example of a book I wish was longer than it was, it is shorter than its 199 pp. might indicate.  As a poet I much prefer Bishop to her correspondent Robert Lowell; their letters collection by the way makes for superb reading and drama.

I have yet to start the new Colm Tóibín novel , and I often like his work.  I read some of the new Sarah Waters , which struck me as a little too belabored for the time I had to give to it, but a quality work which will please her fans.  Cesar Aira wrote some more and he continues to be interesting.  I continued a reread of Moby Dick .

3. Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn . Never bad, it becomes excellent by the end.
