The Grand Change

by

William Andrews’ first novel examines life in a small PEI community
in the 1940s and 50s as changes, so common in the rest
of the world, begin to take hold. Using a road as an allegory, he
weaves a lyrical tale of simple country people, their struggles
and their joys. The story is told through the eyes of a boy called
Jake: he is the witness to life on the Hook Road and the events
that change that life forever. The book is in some ways like a
long poem: the people and the world they inhabit are richly
and meticulously described, and the superb writing takes the
reader to a world no one will ever see again.

The Smeltdog Man

by

<p>”I brushed the crumbs off of the fish and back onto the counter, threw the smelts in the frying pan while I got the eggs out of the fridge and cracked one.” </p>
<p><i>The Smeltdog Man</i> is the story of how a Cape Bretoner marshalled his accidental invention, a marijuana-induced, munchie-inspired Smeltdog, into the most successful fast food franchise in Canada. As president of his newly formed Good Karma Corporation, he tells the tale of how his business empire grows beyond his control, turning him into a billionaire. </p>
<p>While the business booms and the narrator’s wisdom is being constantly tapped for new ideas and strategies, he consults his Granddaddy Blue, whose pragmatic mixture of horse-trader economics and 1960s hippie ideals provide his grandson with the guiding principles and necessary scams he needs to survive in the corporate world. </p>
<p>From the simplicity of its origins to the ecological disaster of its success, <i>The Smeltdog Man</i> details the influences of country music on our narrator’s understanding of himself, the longing of unrequited love and the accumulation of wealth possessing more zeros than our hero can count.</p>

Two More Solitudes

by

Sheldon Currie plumbs new depths in this novel inspired by
Hugh MacLennan’s Two Solitudes. Ian MacDonald is searching
for himself, for a career, for home, and for redemption. Yet
Ian, a man with a talent for baseball, seems to find himself
in “the suicide squeeze” all too often as he runs from one
woman to another. Set in Nova Scotia and Quebec, Currie’s
novel follows Ian’s quest through his encounters with a torchsinging
nun, an old flame, and a woman who seeks more than
friendship.
As Ian struggles to find his place, for a time literally not
knowing who he is, Currie guides readers through a journey
full of eccentric but fully human characters, all trying to
live in worlds that do not always accommodate their dreams
and desires. Two More Solitudes resonates with the burdens
of memory, disappointment, uncertainty, death – and most
particularly with the pleasures and pains of life itself. At times
funny and poignant, Two More Solitudes is also a rich and
subtle exploration of how Ian and those around him find their
way – in the world, with themselves, and with others.
