THE WEEKEND IN REVIEWS

 

Christopher Shulgan's upcoming book Superdad: A Memoir of Rebellion, Drugs and Fatherhood (October) was a Globe and Mail buzz book on Saturday.

Camilla Gibb graces the cover of the July/August issue of the Quill and Quire, in the lead-up to publication of her novel The Beauty of Humanity Movement (August).

Todd Babiak's Toby: A Man was chosen as a Sizzling Read by the Chronicle Herald.

Steven Heighton received yet another rave for Every Lost Country:
"Deliriously good . . . The plot is suspenseful, in itself enticing enough to make Every Lost Country a good read . . . but the quality of the language elevates the novel to beautifully complex literature. Heighton is a superb writer."
-Edmonton Journal

STARRED REVIEW FOR DEREK LUNDY'S 'BORDERLANDS'

 

"Lundy employs a wry sense of humour that keeps the pages turning as the miles fly by... Borderlands is well-balanced, both in terms of interview subjects and the exposure given to the northern and southern U.S. borders.With typical Canadian self-deprecation, Lundy worries that the Canadian border will hold none of the adventure and mystique of its southern cousin. Not so. While the book is primarily a travelogue commenting on America’s growing security obsession, in the borderlands between politics and memoir a fine history lesson exists, and Lundy is an excellent teacher."
-Quill & Quire

REVIEW ROUNDUP

 

Rave reviews for Peter Darbyshire's The Warhol Gang!

"...a violent, darkly comic satire of our media-saturated society... its unmistakably contemporary touches make Palahniuk's book feel dated... Darbyshire has a gift for imagining the absurd."
-The Globe and Mail

"The short snappy chapters move the story at just the right pace for the YouTube-conditioned reader, making this pop culture treasure trove a fast-paced, even addictive read."
-Winnipeg Free Press

"To the ranks of such transgressive, mind-screw masterpieces as George Bataille’s The Story of An Eye, the fiction of Kathy Acker and the early novels of Chuck Pahlaniuk, one must now add The Warhol Gang... one of the finest, and most important, Canadian novels in recent memory."
-Edmonton Journal

Peter will also be guest editing The Afterword, presenting his five “writing lessons.”
