The Art of Reading Book Club with Colm Tóibín Episode 35: ‘How to Build a Boat’ by Elaine Feeney

The December Art of Reading book club features Laureate for Irish Fiction Colm Tóibín in conversation with writer Elaine Feeney about his book 'How to Build a Boat'. “Elaine Feeney’s second novel, set in a small, fictional Irish town on the west coast, tells the story of Jamie, a boy who seeks to connect with his dead mother. ‘Feeney’s prose,’ The New York Times has written, ‘is both careful and relaxed — detailed in its description of place and character and of the effortful human urge to find order in the natural world.’” — Colm Tóibín Learn more about the Art of Reading Book Club and the Laureate for Irish Fiction programme:
