(Tóibín, Colm) Colm Tóibín es la autora de siete novelas, entre ellas The Master, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Brooklyn, winner of the Costa Book Award; El Testamento de María, y Nora Webster, as well as two story collections. Three times shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Tóibín lives in Dublin and New York. His latest is House of Names: A Novel (Scribner), a retelling of the story of Clytemnestra—spectacularly audacious, violent, vengeful, lustful, and instantly compelling—and her children. In House of Names, Colm Tóibín brings a modern sensibility and language to an ancient classic, and gives this extraordinary character new life, so that we not only believe Clytemnestra’s thirst for revenge, but applaud it.
