2024 Award-Winning Visiting Author

Colum McCann

Colum McCannIrish-born international bestseller Colum McCann is among the world’s foremost storytellers, moving seamlessly from the Troubles in Ireland to the Romani camps of Eastern Europe to the dizzying heights of the World Trade Center. Known as a writer of style and substance, hailed by critics and readers alike, he is known as a poetic realist and a literary risk-taker, a writer who is known to tackle the dark in order to get through to the light—any sort of light, however compromised—on the far side.

His writing has been published in The New Yorker, Esquire, The Paris Review, Granta, The Atlantic, GQ, Tin House, The New York Times, The Irish Times, The Irish Independent, Die Zeit, The Guardian, The Times and The Independent, among others.

In addition to the National Book Award, McCann has won a Pushcart Prize, a Rooney Prize and an Irish Novel of the Year Award, among several other honors. He has been long-listed for the Booker Prize twice. He was appointed to the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres by the French government in 2009, and is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010 and a literary award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2011. He has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the French Academy and Aosdana, the Irish Academy.
