"How, exactly, does a novel that seems to break every rule end up being such a fulfilling read? The answer might be that Winter has tapped the ineffable. The Architects Are Here is not modelled on fiction, but rooted in the guts and hurly-burly of life, capturing that experience as few novels do. . . .It is less a novel than it is a force of nature, a bloody, ugly, ultimately uplifting taste of life itself. . . Not only does it succeed, it absolutely soars with catharsis, resonance and unexpected resolution." -National Post.  Read the full review.
