Acclaimed Irish writer Colm Tóibín is the author of nine novels including Brooklyn and Nora Webster and has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize three times. His literary subjects have included the imagined inner life of Henry James and the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. In his new novel, House of Names, Tóibín brings his modern sensibility to the story of Clytemnestra, the vengeful wife of Ancient Greece’s King Agamemnon.
