Joseph O'Neill, born in Ireland and raised in Holland, is the winner of the 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award for Netherland, a novel about a multiracial group of immigrant cricket players living in New York City. New Yorker critic James Wood called it "one of the most remarkable postcolonial books I have ever read." Last spring, President Obama chose Netherland as his first book for pleasure reading since assuming the presidency.
