"Delible is a dark and brilliant work in which understanding is inseparable from grief."
      —Camille Roy

"...a seductive meditation on the ways young women mythologize, cling to, enrapture, and lose one another."
     —Heather O'Neill

Anne Stone is a Vancouver-based teacher, editor, and novelist. She is senior editor at Matrix Magazine and, as of fall 2007, holds a fiction imprint at Insomniac Press. She is the author of three novels: jacks, Hush, and, most recently, Delible. Chosen as one of thirty-five “Books of the Year” for the Globe and Mail, Delible tells the story of Melora Sprague, a 15-year-old girl whose sister is missing. The novel offers a glimpse into a sustained experience of uncertainty and, in so doing, explores how our identities exist in those traces we leave behind.
