Alice - Author Reading, Lynn Coady

Winner of the 2013 Scotiabank Giller Prize and shortlisted for the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Selected as an Amazon.ca Best Book and for The Globe’s Top 10 Books of 2013. In Hellgoing, Lynn Coady gives us nine unforgettable new stories, each one of them grabbing our attention from the first line and resonating long after the last.

Equally adept at capturing the foibles and obsessions of men and of women, compassionate in her humour yet never missing an opportunity to make her characters squirm, fascinated as much by faithlessness as by faith, Lynn Coady is quite possibly the writer who best captures what it is to be human at this particular moment in our history.
