Asylum
Alexis鈥檚 long-awaited second novel follows his award-winning聽Childhood.
Set in Ottawa during the Mulroney years, Asylum is Andr茅 Alexis鈥檚 sweeping, edged-in-satire, yet deeply serious tale of intertwined lives and fortunes, of politics and vain ambition, of the building of a magnificent prison, of human fallibility, of the search for refuge, of the impossibility of love, and of finding home.
Andr茅 Alexis is a Trinidadian-Canadian author and playwright.
