Annabel Lyon

Annabel Lyon has published two award-nominated short story collections: Oxygen and The Best Thing for You. She lives in New Westminster, B.C.. The Golden Mean, Lyon’s much anticipated debut novel, is a vivid imagining of the friendship between the philosopher Aristotle and the young Alexander the Great. Told from the frank point-of-view of Aristotle himself, The Golden Mean reveals how Aristotle’s genius influenced the boy who would conquer the known world. The novel is currently shortlisted for the Rogers Writers' Trust Governor General's Literary Award and and Scotiabank Giller Prizes.
