These essays, collated from across Enright's career, take us from Galway to Honduras, from keen-eyed memoir to urgent political writing. Enright writes about the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society: She interprets Sophocles' Antigone through the lens of the Mother and Baby Homes in Galway, writes on Ireland's successful 2018 referendum on abortion rights, and offers new perspectives on writers including Alice Munro, Toni Morrison, James Joyce, Helen Garner, and Angela Carter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stunning collection unites Enright's cultural criticism, literary, and autobiographical writing for the first time. True to the themes that saturate her award-winning fiction, \u003cem\u003eAttention\u003c\/em\u003e explores the intersection between the personal and political, the subtleties of bodily autonomy, complex family dynamics, and the challenges of intimacy in crystalline, urgent prose. Here we see Enright grappling with and answering these questions in nonfiction. It is a defining collection from one of our most distinguished literary voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Enright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
