"A gorgeous, urgent, nonlinear exploration of loss, belonging, rage, and connection, Evie of the Deepthorn announces André Babyn as an unmissable talent." — Grace O'Connell
What is Evie of the Deepthorn?
It's a cult Canadian movie that Kent looks to for inspiration as he struggles to understand the death of his brother. It's a fantasy novel that Sarah wrestles with as she navigates a traumatic childhood and comes to terms with her failures as an adult. It's a poem that motivates Reza to go on a pilgrimage from which he will not return unscathed.
Shifting and sometimes contradictory, Evie of the Deepthorn is about the search for answers — and escape.
