Book Launch: Prairie Oyster by Sophie Robinson

On 30 April, we welcome Sophie Robinson to Chapters to celebrate Oyster Prairie, a novel of queer longing, artistic fixation, and the dangerous pull of becoming someone else.

At its centre is a woman on the edge of herself, her work, and her life, drawn into an intense relationship with an older female filmmaker she both desires and mythologises. What follows is a story of obsession, projection, and the fragile line between admiration and erasure.

In conversation with Sharmaine Lovegrove, the evening will explore queer desire without sentimentality, ambition and self-destruction, and the creative lives women build and break in pursuit of something bigger.

Expect a reading, a conversation, and space to stay a while after.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
