Don't miss this conversation between two bestselling masters of suspense. Amy Stuart, author of Still Here, sits down with Elisabeth de Mariaffi to discuss her new novel, The Retreat. Everyone has a secret to keep . . . Maeve Martin arrives at the High Water Center for the Arts determined to do one thing: launch her own dance company. Time is running out for the former principal dancer and mother of two to find her feet again after the collapse of a disastrous and violent marriage. At first, there's a thrill to being on her own for the first time in years, isolated in the beauty of a snowy mountain lodge. But when an avalanche traps the guests inside, tensions run high. Help is coming, so they just have to hold on, don't they? But as days pass, the other guests are struck down by mysterious deaths, one by one. Now, as she waits in fear, Maeve must admit how little she knows about anyone else . . . and how useless a locked door is if the darkness is already inside.

The Humanities for Young People (HYP) is a residential summer program for bright and highly-motivated students from ages 15 to 17. Secondary school students from across the country have the unique opportunity to work closely and collaboratively with scholars from a variety of disciplines. HYP is co-ordinated by Dr. Laura Penny and Dr. Sarah Clift from the University of King's College and they generously allowed us to record this year's keynote speeches. The theme for HYP 2019 is Thinking Through Fear and at the annual public symposium both keynote speakers had an opportunity to speak about the social and political dimensions of fear. Elisabeth de Mariaffi approaches the topic by discussing her work as a writer of popular thrillers. She discusses how women live with and against fear, and how writing about violence and women allows her to explore and challenge basic assumptions about women and the stories they tell. Desmond Cole addresses the ways in which fear is racialized. In particular, he explores the complex role fear plays both within racialized communities as a consequence of over-policing and disproportional incarceration of Black people, and in terms of how those communities become feared as a consequence. Following their talks, students from the Humanities for Young People program pose their questions to both speakers. For more information on Humanities for Young People check out http://hyp.ukings.ca Bookings is recorded and produced by Paul MacKay for the King’s Co-op Bookstore in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
