About

Join Giller prizewinning author Michael Redhill as he dives into the world of his much anticipated new novel, The Trial of Katterfelto, the second instalment of Modern Ghosts, a triptych of novels. Set in the late-eighteenth century, the novel follows traveller, conjurer and amateur scientist Gustavus Katterfelto and his colleague, Roger Gossage as they travel the English countryside with a bag of tricks. Their lives change when they discover a metal device that emits a woman’s voice who comes from a place with political tension and climate instability. She calls herself Siri from Toronto. Redhilll’s novel forces readers to wonder where we are as a species, what it means to be human and where we can choose a better path with careful consideration.
