Black Dove: Colin McAdam
September 29 at 8:30pm
Join Canadian author Colin McAdam as he discusses his latest novel – a story of grief, single parenting and the power of a child’s imagination – Black Dove. The book follows 12-year-old Oliver, who is simultaneously dealing with the loss of his mother, fear of his genetics, and constant harassment by bullies. During his struggles, he finds light in the darkness by way of a junk shop full of oddities and wonders. Under the guidance of its shop-keeper, a mad geneticist, Oliver begins miraculously editing and transforming his own genetics. Explore Oliver’s world of dark consequences and fantastical creatures with McAdam, and hear how the author expertly weaves together magical realism and horror.
