Guy Gavriel Kay in conversation with John Burns February 15, 2007

Location: Room 1900, SFU at Harbour Centre, 515 W. Hastings, Vancouver.

Guy Gavriel Kay will also read from his new novel, Ysabel, an exhilarating, moving work in which Kay casts brilliant light on the ways in which history – whether of a culture or a family – refuses to be buried. Ned Marriner, fifteen years old, has accompanied his photographer father to Provence for a six-week “shoot” of images for a glossy coffee-table book. On one holy, haunted night of the ancient year, when the borders between the living and the dead are down and fires are lit upon the hills, Ned, his family, and his friends, are shockingly drawn into this tale, as dangerous, mythic figures from conflicts of long ago erupt into the present, claiming and changing lives.
