The Culture Café is a weekly arts show in which a panel of creatives come together to discuss everything from what box sets they are binge watching to what art they are making. This week in a Culture Café special, Marie-Louise Kerr talks to author Colm Tóibín about his new novel ‘Long Island’. Despite having eleven novel’s and two collections of stories under his belt, three times shortlisted for the Booker prize, in 2021 he was awarded the David Cohen price for Literature and is currently the Laureate for Irish fiction, Colm is becoming more like Larry David by the day. He doesn’t have a TV, listens to a lot of classical music, and loves chocolate and mango ice-cream. He talks to Marie-Louise about meeting Oprah Winfrey, revisiting Eilis and Domhnall Gleeson’s, beautiful portrayal of Jim Farrell. Colm also shares his three favourite tracks with us.
