Canadian novelist Patrick deWitt talks to Kathryn Ryan about his latest satire, 'French Exit' which is at once absurd, weird, and very funny.
The whimsical, wry observation of manners, centres on Frances Price, a capricious 65 year-old Manhattan socialite, her adult son Malcolm, and the family cat, (who is home to the spirit of Frances's dead husband) as they up sticks for Paris.
Patrick deWitt, who has written four novels is coming to the Auckland Writers Festival in May.
