The shock of the new

Article Abstract:

Novelist Colm Toibin believes that he has been greatly influenced by Bergman films, along with the works of Sartre, Hemingway and Camus. He feels that journalism allowed him to come to terms with his feelings about Irish politics and society. He emphasizes that the foreground of his new novel, 'The Blackwater Lightship,' is love and loss, while the background is contemporary Ireland, in which people have new freedoms.
