HELLGOING
COADY, LYNN
With astonishing range and depth, Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Lynn Coady gives us eight
unforgettable new stories, each one of them grabbing our attention from the first line and resonating long
after the last. A young nun charged with talking an anorexic out of her religious fanaticism toys with the
thin distance between practicality and blasphemy. A strange bond between a teacher and a schoolgirl
takes on ever deeper, and stranger, shapes as the years progress. A bride-to-be with a penchant for
nocturnal bondage can’t seem to stop bashing herself up in the light of day. Equally adept at capturing the
foibles and obsessions of men and of women, compassionate in her humour yet never missing an
opportunity to make her characters squirm, fascinated as much by faithlessness as by faith, Lynn Coady
is quite possibly the writer who best captures what it is to be human at this particular moment in our
history.
