ABOUT

Claudia Dey’s most recent novel, Daughter (FSG and Doubleday), was an instant national bestseller, named a New York Times Fall Fiction pick, an Elle Magazine Book of the Year, and a Globe and Mail Best Book. The New York Times called Daughter “Stunning… A darkly glittering tale…beautiful and piercing.” Daughter has been longlisted for the Carol Shields Prize for Fiction.

Dey is also the author of Heartbreaker, which was a Northern Lit and Trillium Book Award finalist, named a best book of the year by multiple publications, and is being adapted for television. Dey’s plays have been produced internationally, and shortlisted for the Governor General’s, Dora, and Trillium Book Awards.

Dey has worked as a horror film actress, a guest artist at the National Theatre School, and an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto. Her fiction, interviews, and essays have appeared in The Paris Review (“Mothers As Makers of Death”), VOGUE, McSweeney’s, Lit Hub, Hazlitt, The Believer, and elsewhere.

Dey has read widely from her novels––appearing in bookstores and at literary festivals across North America, lecturing at the Singapore Writers Festival, and conducting interviews with writers and artists such as Margaret Atwood, Sheila Heti, Leanne Shapton, Cherie Dimaline, and Leslie Feist.
