Opis produktu

Anne Enright was born in Dublin where she now lives and works. She has published two books of stories collected as Yesterdays Weather one book of nonfiction Making Babies and five novels including The Gathering which was the Irish Novel of the Year and won the Irish Fiction Award and the 2007 Man Booker Prize and The Forgotten Waltz which was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. In 2015 she was appointed the first Laureate for Irish Fiction.Anne Enright one of Irelands most remarkable writers has just had two babies: a girl and a boy. Making Babies is the intimate engaging and very funny record of the journey from early pregnancy to age two. Written in dispatches typed with a sleeping baby in the room it has the rush of good news full of the mess the glory and the raw shock of it all.

In 1994 it was said that the alien breeding programme had already affected up to two million carefully selected Americans. What I want to know is who was counting? How do you get on this programme? And why do you have to be white to qualify? Not that I am smug about being Irish Catholic and obliged to give birth in a field personally I would rather see a flying saucer than a vision of the Virgin Mary I think it would be less frightening. The alien breeding programme that leaves strange bruises around the genitals of middle America though spooky may just have been preferable to the vicious fight in Ireland over who owns your insides.
