Bio:

Claudia Dey is a novelist, playwright and columnist. She writes the weekly Group Therapy column for The Globe and Mail, and during its brief but illustrious life, Claudia also wrote the sex column for Toro magazine under the pseudonym Bebe O’Shea. Her plays have been translated into French and German and produced internationally. They include Beaver, Trout Stanley and The Gwendolyn Poems, which was nominated for the Governor General’s Award and the Trillium Award. Her debut novel, Stunt, has been praised by – among others – Time Out Chicago, which called it ‘deeply weird and totally beautiful’, the Globe and Mail and Quill and Quire. The Toronto Star, in its description of Dey’s writing, said "It’s as if poet Anne Carson and satirist Mordecai Richler accidentally collided at a drunken PEN fundraiser to produce a mischievous, magical and observant girl-child."
