Queen of the Damned

 We're still on the BC Book Prizes Tour around northern BC this week (in damp, beautiful Kitimat this evening),  but I wanted to share this piece I wrote for The Millions on Anita Brookner. She's a curious writer, one of my favourites, and when she died recently I pulled out all her books again. Maybe this will make you want to do the same, or try her for the first time. An acquired taste, maybe, but hard to shake. And I love the image the editors picked to illustrate . . .
