![]() It would be visiting a place I didn't want to go for an extended period of time. But I couldn't write it as a memoir, it was too dark for me. "I had been working on a memoir about the deaths-by-suicide of my two brothers. What better metaphor for addiction than this idea of not being able to tell what is beautiful and what is ugly?" We often call addiction a disease of perception. "I was thinking about addiction when I wrote this book. That book has this fantastic device of a mirror, which makes everything beautiful look ugly and everything ugly look beautiful. " The Grimoire of Kensington Market is inspired by The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. Her most recent book is the novel The Grimoire of Kensington Market. Through the lens of a fairy tale, Davis tells the story of a city in the grip of an addiction crisis due to powerful drug which has decimated lives and broken down the social fabric. Davis is the author of novels such as Against a Darkening Sky and Our Daily Bread. ![]()
