I am so excited to have interviewed the incredible Colm Tóibín, author of the breathtaking book, The Magician.
This outstanding book tells the story of Thomas Mann, whose life was filled with great acclaim and contradiction.
He would find himself on the wrong side of history in the First World War, cheerleading the German army, but have a clear vision of the future in the second, anticipating the hours of Nazism.
He would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden.
He was a man forever connected to his family, and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide.
He would write some of the greatest works of European literature, and win the Novel Prize, but would never return to the country that inspired his creativity.
Through one life, Colm tells a breathtaking story of the twentieth century.
What an honour to be sharing an hour with one of the greatest authors of our times.
