Synopsis

Prepare to meet one of the most fascinating narrators of the decade. Slightly alcoholic, hugely perceptive and utterly hilarious, Bex Brian has created a character so compelling, you never want to leave her side. If you met Augati Quick at a bar, you’d sit down next to her and stay put until the early dawn. Straddling the uneasy domesticism of Bohemian Montreal in the 1970’s and the anomie of expatriates in present day Abu Dhabi, Brian weaves a tale of violence and the inevitable contrails that continue to haunt lives long after the physical wounds have healed. Honestly, Radius is kind of a masterpiece.
Rebecca Johnson, author of And Sometimes Why

Bex Brian’s is a wise and world-weary voice of such youthful vigor and sharp wit, you won’t be able to put this book down. A singular achievement by a wholly original writer.
Scott Anderson, author of Lawrence in Arabia

Every word in Bex Brian’s writing rings true. Funny, intriguingly off-kilter and, always original. Susan Choi, author of Trust Exercise

Radius’s narrator, Augati Quick, speaks to us from her uneasy, lonely and boozy exile as a faculty wife in Abu Dhabi about, well, pretty much everything, but especially about a domestic tragedy of sisters and step-sisters that climaxed one winter in Montreal 40 years before. This is one one of the most unforgettable, harrowing yet charming, dysfunctional family sagas I’ve ever read. Bex Brian’s voice is incredibly unique, so sharp, intelligent, tender, penetrating, shocking, hilarious, heart-breaking.Francisco Goldman, author of Say Her Name
