No quite a book review.
I can’t tell you about this book yet because it’s not in the stores. But really, once it’s there, you must go get it.
Todd Babiak is my one of my favourite Canadian authors. He is satirical in a Canadian way. Not too British, not too American. Just plain Canadian funny. I’ve tried to describe this book to others as “Gabriel Garcia Marquez meets Michael Winter”. I hope that’s flattering to all involved.
I am a huge fan of The Garneau Block, Babiak’s first novel, which is now out in paperback.
Here’s my review.
Buy it on Amazon: The Garneau Block in paperback.
I was really excited to meet Todd at Book Expo Canada. And I was even more excited to open up the book.
Stanely Moss is an average man. That is until God tells him to go to Banff. Of course, it’s much more complicated than that. But the short and long of it is that Stanley goes to Banff looking for answers and finds a hell of a lot of questions.
If you want an early peak, it won’t make much sense but you can watch some LeapTV.com or watch my teaser.
