Juliano Zaffino: The Steps

Join Juliano Zaffino for a conversation about his debut novel, The Steps. Derek’s childhood sweetheart Sophie and her children, reeling from tragedy, move from Canada to his home in England. There they attempt to forge a life together – but their new family is shadowed by grief, myth, and a lingering sense of the uncanny. Through shifting perspectives, from Jules, the delicate middle child, to fierce Ema, novelist Juliano Zaffino paints an unforgettable portrait of love, loyalty, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.

Juliano Zaffino is a writer, researcher and editor. His poetry collection All Those Bodies And They're Moving was published in 2020. The Steps is his first novel.

Attendees can expect to hear about making the transition from poetry to prose, the genesis of The Steps and writing multiples points of view convincingly.
