The Master by Colm Toibin
Friday, February 12th, 2010 | The Writing Life
I found a wonderful book last week by Colm Toibin…THE MASTER was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2004 so I am a little late with this one, but better late than never.
My favorite quote from the novel so far:
“He wondered if this had happened to other writers who came before him, if Hawthorne or George Eliot had written to make the dead come back to life, had worked all day and all night, like a magician or an alchemist, defying fate and time and all the implacable elements to re-create a sacred life.”
