Join bestselling Canadian author Patrick DeWitt for an evening celebrating his novel Dodge City, a sweeping portrait of American life in flux. The book follows a young man on an amphetamine-fueled cross-country road trip fleeing the Vietnam War draft for Canada, weaving together themes of family, belonging, love and war in a narrative that is both deeply moving and delightfully off-kilter.
DeWitt, author of the national bestsellers The Librarianist and French Exit, as well as the Booker Prize-shortlisted The Sisters Brothers, will be in conversation with writer and broadcaster Octavia Bright, who co-hosts the podcast and NTS Radio show Literary Friction.
