Event information

Jody speaks to author Ian Marchant about his debut book Chimera with a Q&A.

Jody White’s eighteenth year of life filled his heart with young love – only to break him apart. Diagnosed with a rare form of Acute Leukaemia, he was given just two weeks to live.

After a whirlwind of intensive treatment, close to death, he dreamed his way into the care of a wizened cowboy, his own personal SWAT team, and a mysterious old crone who wanders the desert collecting wolf bones.

Chimera is an alchemical dive into teenage illness – a near-death initiation framed by the innate, mythic stories that touch all our lives.
