Anne Enright March 6, 2008

The stories in Taking Pictures (Cape) are snapshots of the body in trouble: in denial, in extremis and in love. Mapping the messy connections between people – and their failures to connect – the stories capture their characters in the grainy texture of real life, from Dublin to Venice, from an American college dorm to a holiday caravan in France: palpable, sensuous and deeply flawed. Anne Enright won the Man Booker Prize in 2007 for her novel The Gathering. ‘A spry surrealist,’ James Wood writes, ‘who challenges the world with extraordinary, lancing sentences’.
