CERIDWEN DOVEY
Wednesday, March 12 at 7:30 p.m.

A writer who grew up in South Africa and Australia, and now makes New York City her home, Ceridwen Dovey is here with her debut novel, Blood Kin (Viking)—a brilliant novel with an allegorical feel, set in a place and time where a president has been deposed by a coup. The voices of others who figure in the story come to the fore, as this story unfolds in it telling, both revealing and concealing. "A fable of the arrogance of power, beneath whose dreamlike surface swirl currents of complex sensuality." - J.M. Coetzee. "A lovely, haunting novel, written with great care and precision ... a really fine debut." - Colum McCann.
