In this Toronto premiere for his latest book, the U of T Bookstore Reading Series is thrilled to present an evening with Guy Gavriel Kay interviewed by Mark Askwith, producer of SPACE: The Imagination Station.

In this exhilarating, moving new work, Guy Gavriel Kay casts dazzling 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. Gradually, Ned discovers a very old story playing itself out in this modern world of iPods, cell phones, and seven-seater vans whipping along roads walked by Celtic tribes and Roman legions. On one holy, haunted night of the ancient year, when the borders between the living and the dead are down and fires are lit up on 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.

Guy Gavriel Kay is the internationally bestselling author of nine previous novels and a volume of poetry. His most recent work of fiction is The Last Light of the Sun. He has been awarded the International Goliardos Prize for his work in the literature of the fantastic, is a two-time winner of the Aurora Awards, and has been nominated three times for the World Fantasy Award. His works have been translated into twenty-four languages and his books have sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

Mark Askwith is the co-creator and producer of Prisoners of Gravity and producer at SPACE: The Imagination Station.
