Bernice Friesen’s first novel, The Book of Beasts, was shortlisted for the Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Her second novel, Universal Disorder, is about a boy named Charlie – neurodivergent, preoccupied with numbers, and desperately trying to solve for love. Once upon a time, Berni went to art school, treated her hair like sculpture, and did weird performance art. She currently lives on the Gulf Islands.
