Editorial Reviews

"More a charge than a retreat...lively and unquestionably gifted prose." -- The Globe and Mail "...a work of sustained, unrelenting, unmercifully protracted brilliance." -- The Montreal Gazette "...the story of the ultimate failure of artfulness ... before the bittersweet finitude of our merely human nature...." -- Prairie Fire
