Asylum
Alexis’s long-awaited second novel follows his award-winning Childhood.
Set in Ottawa during the Mulroney years, Asylum is André Alexis’s 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.
André Alexis is a Trinidadian-Canadian author and playwright.
