Thanks for posting this!
I’d just like everyone to know that I’ll be reading from (& signing!) my new book, the 2010 David Adams Richards prize winning fiction collection, THE MEANING OF CHILDREN (Exile Editions).
It’s garnered some incredible feedback:
“Akerman holds up our greatest fears, not to dwell on them, but to marvel at our commitment to life, especially to passing it on to others.”
~Anne Chudobiak, The Montreal Gazette
“This isn’t the invented childhood of imagination and wonderment…[here] children both corrupt and redeem: each other, family relationships and the female body.”
~Katie Hewitt, The Globe & Mail
