Much awarded, André Alexis is the winner of both a Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Award for his last novel, Fifteen Dogs (2015). In Alexis’s novel we have a loveable rogue, Tancred Palmieri a damsel in distress, local addict Willow Azarian wily and dangerous villains, Errol "Nigger" Colby and Sigismund "Freud" Luxemberg and, of course, the promise of hidden treasure – no spoilers here! The Hidden Keys, André Alexis’s new novel, was inspired by a reading of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and features a ludic twist on some of the endearing characteristics found in many adventure stories.
