EDWARD DOCX
Tuesday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Over from London is Edward Docx, making this first Elliott Bay reading visit for his newly released, Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize-winning second novel, Pravda (Mariner). Set most vividly in St. Petersburg, this novel tells of family secrets revealed upon a mother's death. "Docx's ability to evoke the atmosphere of a city is almost Dickensian ... [He] can place you within each heart-stopping moment, speed up and slow down time from one sentence to the next ... Masterful ... A gripping read that will engage, delight, and engross." - Guardian.
