JODY WHITE
Sunday 22nd October, 3 pm. Doors open 2.30 pm.
The Assembly Rooms, Presteigne.
Jody speaks about his debut book Chimera with author Ian Marchant.
Jody White’s eighteenth year of life filled his heart with young love – only to break him apart. Diagnosed with a rare form of Acute Leukaemia, he was given just two weeks to live.
After a whirlwind of intensive treatment, close to death, he dreamed his way into the care of a wizened cowboy, his own personal SWAT team, and a mysterious old crone who wanders the desert collecting wolf bones.
Chimera is an alchemical dive into teenage illness – a near-death initiation framed by the innate, mythic stories that touch all our lives.
