Fruit of the Dead: Rachel Lyon in Conversation with Amanda Dennis Join us at the University of Kent Paris School of Arts and Culture for an evening with the Paris Writer in Residence, Rachel Lyon, to discuss Lyon’s captivating new novel, Fruit of the Dead,  an electric contemporary reimagining of the myth of Persephone and Demeter set over the course of one summer on a lush private island, exploring who holds the power in a modern underworld.  The conversation will range across the complexity of mother-daughter relations, love, control, and American's own late capitalist mythos. Fruit of the Dead has been called  a spellbinding account of a young woman’s hunger for freedom, the sordid underbelly of big pharma, and the siren call of addiction  (Leslie Jameson). The conversation will be followed by a reception and book sale.Rachel Lyon is author of the novel Self-Portrait with Boy, a meditation on how a private tragedy can become public art, which was a finalist for the Center for Fiction's 2018 First Novel Prize. Her 2024 novel Fruit of the Dead has been named most anticipated book of 2024 by outlets including Elle, Oprah Daily, and People magazine. Lyon is also the author of short works of fiction and non-fiction that have appeared recently in The Bennington Review, LitHub, One Story, and The Rumpus. In addition to her own writing, Lyon is a teacher of creative writing for institutions including, most recently, Bennington College, and is cofounder of the reading series Dream Away and Ditmas Lit. She lives with her husband and two young children in Western Massachusetts. Amanda Dennis is the author of the novel Her Here, and a book about Samuel Beckett and French philosophy: Beckett and Embodiment: Body, Space, Agency. Her writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, and Guernica. She teaches creative writing and comparative literature at the American University of Paris. This event is part of our Writer in Residence programme, a collabortation between the University of Kent Paris School of Arts and Culture (PSAC), the American University of Paris (AUP), and the Centre Culturel Irlandais (Irish Cultural Center).
