Early life
Anne Enright was born in Dublin, Ireland, and was educated at St Louis High School, Rathmines. She won an international scholarship to Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia, where she studied for an International Baccalaureate for two years. She then completed a BA in English and Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin. She began writing in earnest when she was given an electric typewriter for her 21st birthday. She won a Chevening Scholarship to the University of East Anglia's Creative Writing Course, where she studied under Angela Carter and Malcolm Bradbury and completed an MA degree.{{cite news|first=Patricia|last=Deevy|url=http://www.independent.ie/unsorted/features/lifes-exquisite-pleasures-504331.html|title=Life's exquisite pleasures|newspaper=Irish Independent|publisher=Independent News & Media|date=13 October 2002|access-date=17 October 2007|archive-date=25 May 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090525064613/http://www.independent.ie/unsorted/features/lifes-exquisite-pleasures-504331.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|first=Manini|last=Chatterjee|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1071018/asp/frontpage/story_8448510.asp|title=Anne and I, and those days - In Delhi, memories of a Booker winner from Dublin|work=The Telegraph|date=18 October 2007|access-date=19 October 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071021024138/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1071018/asp/frontpage/story_8448510.asp| archive-date= 21 October 2007 |url-status = dead| location=Calcutta, India}}{{cite web|url=http://www.cheveningalumni.org/Register.aspx |title=Directory of Chevening Alumni |website=Chevening UK Government Scholarships |date=24 August 2014 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150823151758/http://cheveningalumni.org/Register.aspx |archive-date=23 August 2015 }}
Enright was a television producer and director for RTÉ in Dublin for six years{{cite news|first=Anne |last=Hayden |url=http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2002/12/29/story812503528.asp |title=Anne Enright |work=The Sunday Business Post |date=29 December 2005 |access-date=29 December 2005 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060218030037/http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2002/12/29/story812503528.asp |archive-date=18 February 2006}} and produced the RTÉ programme Nighthawks for four years. She then worked in children's programming for two years and wrote on weekends. She began writing full-time in 1993.{{cite news|url=http://www.braypeople.ie/news/hoping-to-win-another-booker-prize-for-ireland-1164895.html |title=Hoping to win another Booker Prize for Ireland |work=Bray People |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071119072344/http://www.braypeople.ie/news/hoping-to-win-another-booker-prize-for-ireland-1164895.html |archive-date=19 November 2007}} Her full-time career as a writer came about when she left television due to a breakdown, later remarking: "I recommend it [...] having a breakdown early. If your life just falls apart early on, you can put it together again. It's the people who are always on the brink of crisis who don't hit bottom who are in trouble." Of her time spent working behind the scenes as a producer, Enright said: "There was a great buzz and sometimes I felt like awarding myself purple hearts for the work I was doing." It was a time of "drinking too much" and "hanging around" with people "who don't really have steady jobs".
Personal life
Enright lives in Dublin, having previously lived in Bray, County Wicklow, until 2014. She is married to Martin Murphy, who was director of the Pavilion Theatre in Dún Laoghaire and now works as an adviser to the Arts Council of Ireland.{{cite news|first=Stuart|last=Jeffries|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/oct/18/bookerprize2007.thebookerprize|title=I wanted to explore desire and hatred|work=The Guardian|date=18 October 2007|access-date=18 October 2007|location=London|archive-date=5 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141005203136/http://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/oct/18/bookerprize2007.thebookerprize|url-status=live}} They have two children, a son and daughter.
Books
Enright has described her working practice as involving "rocking the pram with one hand and typing with the other".
Critics have suggested that it was from the work of Flann O'Brien that Enright derived her early efforts. The year 1991 brought the publication of The Portable Virgin, a collection of her short stories. Angela Carter (who, as Enright's former creative writing teacher, knew her well) called it "elegant, scrupulously poised, always intelligent and, not least, original."
Enright's first novel was published in 1995. Titled The Wig My Father Wore, the book explores themes such as love, motherhood and the Catholic Church. The narrator of the novel is Grace, who lives in Dublin and works for a tacky game show. Her father wears a wig that cannot be spoken of in front of him. An angel called Stephen who committed suicide in 1934 and has come back to earth to guide lost souls moves into Grace's home and she falls in love with him.{{cite news|first=Tom|last=Gilling|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/18/books/earth-angel.html|title=Earth Angel|work=The New York Times|date=18 November 2001|access-date=17 October 2007|archive-date=17 October 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091017061348/http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/18/books/earth-angel.html|url-status=live}}
Enright's second novel, What Are You Like?, was published in 2000. About twin girls called Marie and Maria who are separated at birth and raised apart from each other in Dublin and London, it looks at tensions and ironies between family members. It was shortlisted in the novel category of the Whitbread Awards.{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2001/0303/01030300198.html|title=What are you like? by Anne Enright|newspaper=The Irish Times|publisher=Irish Times Trust|date=3 March 2001|access-date=17 October 2007|archive-date=2 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210902193432/https://www.irishtimes.com/news/what-are-you-like-by-anne-enright-vintage-6-99-in-uk-1.287115|url-status=live}}
Enright's third novel, The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch, published in 2002, is a fictionalised account of the life of Eliza Lynch, an Irish woman who was the consort of Paraguayan president Francisco Solano López and became Paraguay's most powerful woman in the 19th century.{{cite news|first=Miranda|last=Seymour|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/23/books/first-mistress-of-paraguay.html?n=Top%2FReference%2FTimes+Topics%2FPeople%2FE%2FEnright%2C+Anne|title=First Mistress of Paraguay|work=The New York Times|date=23 March 2003|access-date=17 October 2007|archive-date=27 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727145644/https://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/23/books/first-mistress-of-paraguay.html?n=Top%2FReference%2FTimes+Topics%2FPeople%2FE%2FEnright%2C+Anne|url-status=live}}
Enright's 2004 book, Making Babies: Stumbling into Motherhood, is a collection of candid and humorous essays about childbirth and motherhood.
Her fourth novel, The Gathering, won the Man Booker Prize in 2007. The aide-de-camp of President McAleese acknowledged the result. A positive review in The New York Times stated that there was "no consolation" in The Gathering. A scene in The Gathering is set in the foyer of Belvedere Hotel.[https://www.thejournal.ie/literary-walking-tour-dublin-4785553-Sep2019/ "Take a walking tour around Dublin with these 10 landmarks from Irish novels"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190909005836/https://www.thejournal.ie/literary-walking-tour-dublin-4785553-Sep2019/ |date=9 September 2019 }}, The Journal, 3 September 2019.
