Список книг автора Sean DixonThe Many Revenges of Kip Flynn
The Girls Who Saw Everything was critically acclaimed – it made the Quill & Quire 's top ten list for 2007 and was in the Top 40 books being considered for CBC's Canada Reads series. It didn't sell enormous numbers, but that was likely a result of how difficult it was to describe the book. This one doesn't have that problem.Sean's first book was published in the U.K. (HarperCollins) and the U.S. (Other Press) under the title The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal (9781590513125), and translated into Romanian. Romanian rights have already been sold for this novel.Sean also has two YA titles in print, The Feathered Cloak and The Winter Drey (Key Porter). They've done reasonably well.Kip is a young anarchist, who makes her money doing fire-breathing shows and selling black roses. Pat York, her nemesis, is the son of a rich developer; he makes his money running people like Kip out of their apartments and redeveloping the buildings, and erecting office towers. So it's got a class-war vibe too.
A God in Need of Help
It’s 1606 and Europe is at war over God. At the behest of the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, Venice’s four strongest men are charged with transporting a holy painting — Albrecht Dürer's The Brotherhood of the Rosary — across the Alps to Prague. In the small Alpine village of Pusterwald, they are set upon by Protestant zealots; their escape is attributed to a miracle.The strongmen and their captain are summoned to an inquiry, led by the magistrate of Venice and the cardinal archbishop of Milan, to determine whether something divine did indeed occur. Each man's recounting adds a layer of colour to the canvas.Through this vividly painted mystery, inspired by true events, Sean Dixon challenges the role of faith at the dawn of the Age of Reason. Sean Dixon is a playwright, novelist, and actor. His plays are collected in AWOL: Three Plays for Theatre SKAM. Sean's novels are The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal and The Many Revenges of Kip Flynn.
