Early life

[edit]

Anne Enright was born in Dublin, Ireland, and was educated at St Louis High School, Rathmines. She won an international scholarship to Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia, where she studied for an International Baccalaureate for two years. She then completed a BA in English and Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin. She began writing in earnest when she was given an electric typewriter for her 21st birthday. She won a Chevening Scholarship to the University of East Anglia's Creative Writing Course, where she studied under Angela Carter and Malcolm Bradbury and completed an MA degree.[5][6][7]

Enright was a television producer and director for RTÉ in Dublin for six years[8] and produced the RTÉ programme Nighthawks for four years.[3] She then worked in children's programming for two years and wrote on weekends. She began writing full-time in 1993.[9] Her full-time career as a writer came about when she left television due to a breakdown, later remarking: "I recommend it [...] having a breakdown early. If your life just falls apart early on, you can put it together again. It's the people who are always on the brink of crisis who don't hit bottom who are in trouble."[10] Of her time spent working behind the scenes as a producer, Enright said: "There was a great buzz and sometimes I felt like awarding myself purple hearts for the work I was doing."[10] It was a time of "drinking too much" and "hanging around" with people "who don't really have steady jobs".[10]

Personal life

[edit]

Enright lives in Dublin, having previously lived in Bray, County Wicklow, until 2014. She is married to Martin Murphy, who was director of the Pavilion Theatre in Dún Laoghaire and now works as an adviser to the Arts Council of Ireland.[10] They have two children, a son and daughter.[10]

Books

[edit]

Critics have suggested that it was from the work of Flann O'Brien that Enright derived her early efforts.[10] The year 1991 brought the publication of The Portable Virgin, a collection of her short stories. Angela Carter (who, as Enright's former creative writing teacher, knew her well) called it "elegant, scrupulously poised, always intelligent and, not least, original."[10]

Enright's first novel was published in 1995. Titled The Wig My Father Wore, the book explores themes such as love, motherhood and the Catholic Church. The narrator of the novel is Grace, who lives in Dublin and works for a tacky game show. Her father wears a wig that cannot be spoken of in front of him. An angel called Stephen who committed suicide in 1934 and has come back to earth to guide lost souls moves into Grace's home and she falls in love with him.[11]

Enright's second novel, What Are You Like?, was published in 2000. About twin girls called Marie and Maria who are separated at birth and raised apart from each other in Dublin and London, it looks at tensions and ironies between family members. It was shortlisted in the novel category of the Whitbread Awards.[12]

Enright's third novel, The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch, published in 2002, is a fictionalised account of the life of Eliza Lynch, an Irish woman who was the consort of Paraguayan president Francisco Solano López and became Paraguay's most powerful woman in the 19th century.[13]

Enright's 2004 book, Making Babies: Stumbling into Motherhood, is a collection of candid and humorous essays about childbirth and motherhood.

Her fourth novel, The Gathering, won the Man Booker Prize in 2007. The aide-de-camp of President McAleese acknowledged the result.[10] A positive review in The New York Times stated that there was "no consolation" in The Gathering.[10] A scene in The Gathering is set in the foyer of Belvedere Hotel.[14]

Enright's seventh novel, Actress, was selected for the longlist for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020. It tells the story of a daughter detailing her mother's rise to fame in late twentieth-century Irish theatre, Broadway, and Hollywood.[15]

The New Yorker has published her writing in seven years over two decades: 2000, 2001 and 2005, 2007, 2017, 2019 and 2020.[16] The 4 October 2007 issue of the London Review of Books published Enright's piece "Disliking the McCanns" about Kate and Gerry McCann, the British parents of the three-year-old child Madeleine McCann, who disappeared in suspicious circumstances while on holiday with her family in Portugal in May 2007.[17][18][19][20] Mary Kenny described Enright as "irrationally prejudiced", a woman with "bad judgement", and questioned an apology which Enright issued.

Enright was once a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4, and has also reviewed for RTÉ.[21][22][23] She has also been in The Dublin Review, The Irish Times, The Guardian, Granta and The Paris Review.

Early life and education

Childhood

Anne Enright was born on 11 October 1962 in , . She grew up on the borders of Perrystown, , and in 12, in a modest home shared by her parents and four siblings as one of five children. Her parents were both civil servants; her father, Donal, worked in a supportive role that allowed for playful moments, such as blackberry picking in , while her mother, Cora, retired early after marriage to focus on and raising the children. The family was Roman Catholic, with Enright's mother embodying a conservative strain of the faith that emphasized spiritual equality but clashed with the era's strict moral codes on issues like contraception and abortion, which remained illegal in Ireland until the early 1980s. This Catholic upbringing, set against the backdrop of 1970s and 1980s Ireland—including the profound impact of Pope John Paul II's 1979 visit—profoundly shaped Enright's worldview, instilling a sense of familial duty and tension amid broader societal shifts. Her mother's background in a falling middle-class family, marked by early loss and a strong Catholic education, further reinforced these dynamics of resilience and constraint within Irish family life. From an early age, Enright displayed a precocious interest in reading and storytelling, growing up in a book-filled home where her parents were avid readers and her mother's family had a tradition of engaging with . She favored Alice's Adventures in Wonderland over more conventional choices like The Wind in the Willows, reflecting her father's playful influence, and frequented the local library to explore works by authors such as , , and Somerset Maugham.

Her first novel, The Wig My Father Wore, appeared in 1995, published by . Set in post-Troubles , the surreal narrative follows Grace, a television producer whose routine life unravels when an angel named Stephen—a former bridge builder who died by in 1934—arrives at her door seeking guidance for lost souls.

It delves into themes of identity, , and the inescapable ties of , using fragmented perspectives to convey dislocation and the haunting pull of inheritance. Early of these debut works highlighted Enright's innovative approach, praising the sharp irony, , and postmodern fragmentation in her , which captured the multiplicity of Irish identities. However, reviewers also noted the experimental elements, such as narrative incoherence and surreal shifts, which could render her stories "spiky and angular" or uneven in execution. Her education in at the influenced this bold, decentered style evident from the outset.

Breakthrough and later novels

Enright's breakthrough came with her 2007 novel The Gathering, which marked a significant escalation in her international recognition. The narrative centers on Veronica Hegarty, who grapples with profound grief following the suicide of her brother Liam, an alcoholic whose death prompts a family wake that unearths long-buried secrets from their Dublin childhood. Through Veronica's introspective monologue, Enright delves into themes of familial trauma, repressed memory, and the lingering shadows of the Irish diaspora, portraying a sprawling, dysfunctional clan marked by emotional isolation and unspoken abuse. The novel's raw, unflinching prose captures the "exhilarating bleakness" of Irish family life, blending personal reckoning with broader cultural malaise.

Building on this success, Enright's 2011 novel The Forgotten Waltz shifts focus to the intimate fallout of amid Ireland's . Narrated by Gina Moynihan, the story traces her affair with Séan Vallely, a married man with a troubled daughter, Evie, set against the backdrop of the Celtic Tiger's boom and bust. Enright explores not as romance but as a corrosive force that unravels marriages, exposes societal hypocrisies, and burdens the next generation, with the housing crash symbolizing personal and national disintegration. The novel's nervy, confessional style indicts self-deception in love, earning it the Medal for Excellence in Fiction in 2012. In The Green Road (2015), Enright returns to multi-generational family dynamics in rural , chronicling the Madigan siblings—Dan, Emmet, Constance, and Hanna—as they scatter across the globe before reuniting at their family home, Ardeevin, for a tense gathering prompted by their mother Rosaleen's cryptic announcement about selling the property. The structure alternates between individual vignettes spanning decades, highlighting themes of , unfulfilled ambitions, and the pull of Irish heritage, with the titular green road serving as a for paths diverged and reclaimed. Critics praised its exquisite of voices and emotional depth, which earned it the Irish Novel of the Year at the Irish Book Awards in 2015 and a shortlisting for the in 2016.

Narrated by her , Norah, a theater director, the story interweaves Katherine's rise from stages to Hollywood, her volatile relationships, and her eventual breakdown, addressing themes of fame's performative facade, maternal legacy, and psychological fragility in women. Enright's sharp, knowing prose illuminates the blurred boundaries between public and private turmoil, drawing on Ireland's mid-20th-century cultural shifts. Most recently, The Wren, The Wren (2023) weaves a poignant tale of loss and artistic inheritance following the death of Phil McDaragh, a renowned Irish whose abandonment reverberates through his daughter Carmel and granddaughter Nell. Alternating between Carmel's reflections on her father's flaws and Nell's contemporary struggles with love and self-discovery in , the probes the enduring impact of paternal absence, the of , and the resilience of female bonds. Enright infuses the narrative with lyrical interludes of Phil's verse, underscoring themes of , legacy, and linguistic connection to Irish identity. The book won the 2024 for Fiction. Across these works, Enright consistently interrogates family dysfunction as a microcosm of Irish societal fractures, where memory serves as both a haunting burden and a path to tentative healing, often intertwined with national themes of , economic upheaval, and cultural reinvention. Her style has evolved from the more experimental, fragmented approach of her early novels toward a grounded realism that amplifies emotional precision and clarity, allowing broader without sacrificing depth.

Her debut collection, The Portable Virgin (1991), established these motifs through stories that blend the formal with the miraculous, often centering on women's emotional and physical betrayals. Enright's narratives frequently evoke ephemeral connections, as in tales of aimless longing or sudden grief, bridging the personal and the surreal in a style that critiques societal expectations of . In her second collection, Taking Pictures (2008), Enright expands on these concerns with sharp, visceral stories of young mothers and lovers grappling with sensual and familial dissolution. Desire emerges as an imaginative act amid stifling domesticity, while loss manifests in haunting images—such as a father's washing over a or cancer depicted as a swarm of bees—infusing the ordinary with surreal intensity. The following year, Yesterday's Weather (2009) appeared as an omnibus volume incorporating The Portable Virgin and Taking Pictures, alongside new pieces that capture the raw immediacy of Irish women's experiences, from maternal ambivalence to unexpected delights in surrender.
