Review:
From Matt Cohen, the author of Emotional Arithmetic, comes this account of two brothers. At once opposites--Paul is a bookseller with a passion for Charles Dickens, while Henry's interests run towards cars and racing--and inextricably bound by the ties of blood, the two brothers replay a story rooted in the tale of Cain and Abel. The story unfolds in a Toronto that most visitors never see--a seamy underbelly of pool halls and gas stations peopled with heroin addicts and cops gone bad.
From the Back Cover:
"Vividly observed and arrestingly well written--. An atmospheric, polished, pensive and suspenseful tale." -The New York Times
"Rich with the bittersweet fragrance of autumn and the magic of words." -Vancouver Sun
"A penetrating view of the underside of the human condition that never fails to convince us that there are tragic songs still to be written from that vantage point.... The result is like poetry written on a worn-out dollar bill." -The Montreal Gazette
"Cohen's investigation of unlikely, yet inevitable, human interdependence is wise and sensitive." -Publishers Weekly
"A powerful novel, peopled by a vividly-drawn cast of characters." -London Free Press
"A spare and disturbing meditation on familial obligations and affections.... A concise, chilly work, an unblinking examination of the manner in which love and hate intertwine. Deeply compelling." -Kirkus Reviews
