This much I know: Anne Enright - Author and Laureate for Irish Fiction

People assumed I would become a writer. It was not something I chose. I don’t think you become a writer in the way that you become a doctor or a lawyer. It was a type of arranged marriage and I am happy with the arrangement.
Growing up, I was very content to be alone. I am not a constant communicator. I come from a family of readers and there were always lots of books at home.
