"Annaghmakerrig" celebrates twenty-five years of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, a workplace retreat for artists set amid the lakes and drumlins of County Monaghan. The book is a collection and a collage, capturing the essence of the house and grounds, its history and that of its fascinating and somewhat eccentric families, as well as the creativity of all the artists who have spent time there since it was opened by Brian Friel in 1981. Literature, music, theatre, film, dance and visual art are presented in an unexpected melange, reflecting the serendipity of the artistic encounters which happen around the Annaghmakerrig dinner table. Eugene McCabe remembers Tony Guthrie the theatre director, while Joseph Hone provides a touching and powerful childhood memoir. Other contributors include Colm Toibin, John Banville, Gerald Barry, Anne Enright, Joseph O'Connor, Robert Ballagh, Tim Robinson and Claire Keegan. The imaginative choice of pieces includes the familiar and the unexpected; new and unpublished work will surprise and delight. The house, the gardens, the food and, above all, the spirit of the five thousand resident artists listed here complete this superb and handsome volume.
