“I wanted to give the reader something to argue about, something that would annoy her and be a cause for dissent and great, I hope, pleasure.”

—Anne Enright discussing her novel The Forgotten Waltz as she accepts the nomination as one of the three finalists for the recent Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. She ended up winning the inaugural prize awarded on June 24th in Anaheim, California.
