“Brooklyn”

I found Colim Toibin addressing us very interesting, I never really met and saw an author that I read a book from. I also found it interesting the way he was inspired on writing the book “Brooklyn” and his inspiration for the book and what he was thinking while he was writing it and the fact that he used many stories that he had heard and saw while he was a child to write his book. I also found it very interesting how he tried to compare our lives to the book by explaining the similarities when moving away from home and living by yourself. I found it very interesting how he was talking about his differences in America then Ireland, and really showed the differences between the two different cultures and lifestyles, such as his example of watching a baseball game and having no idea what was going on.
