I adored MARTIN SLOANE but Michael Redhill does it again with a fascinating look at the worlds of old and new Toronto and how they come to meet.

This was one of the best reads this year! A book so completely overlooked. It's a shame because it gets my nod for one of the best reads of the year.

Friends Of Meager Fortune

Richards, David Adam

No one delves into issues of morality as well as David Adam Richards. Emotionally tense and riveting.

Notes

Kevin Peterson says:

Anthony: Good luck with the UK negotiations. Your book is wonderful and deserves a bigger audience.
Kevin Peterson says:

Great news. Atwood's UK publisher is Bloomsbury, where my friend works, so that gives impetus. I am sure someone will grab it. I'm glad you had a good night -- wish your students well and keep on writing.
Kevin Peterson says:

Anthony: I hope you had a very good Giller night and I am disappointed that you did not win -- it is still a remarkable achievement. I have my European contacts looking out for Barnacle Love, so do let me know if you get a publisher there. Cheers, Kevin
Kevin Peterson says:

Anthony,

Thought you might like to know that the Shadow Giller Prize jury has named Barnacle Love this year's winner. By way of explanation, I set up the Shadow jury in year two of the Giller -- the argument being that if you criticize the Real jury, you have to make your choice in advance. Jack Rabinovitch and the Giller people know all about us (he has saluted us at the dinner). If you send me your email address (to kevin@belvedere1.com), I'll send you a copy of our press release.
Mary Novik says:

Absolutely .... Doubleday is terrific, and they seem to be putting authors into all the top shortlists! Congrats again, and good luck on the Giller!
Kevin Peterson says:

Good luck to your agent -- please let me know if a deal is reached. I do hope if it is published in the UK they describe it as linked novellas or something other than short stories because I do think Barnacle Love has definite Booker potential. Cheers.
Kevin Peterson says:

Anthony: I've recommended your book to a couple of very good UK bloggers (Asylum and The Fiction Desk). Are there any plans yet for UK publication or do I have to convince them to order the book from Canada? Thanks.
Mary Novik says:

Anthony, wonderful news about Barnacle Love making the Scotiabank Giller shortlist, http://www.scotiabankgillerprize.ca/home.htm
You must be over the moon!

Sally Sparrow says:

Congratulations for getting on the Giller prize longlist! I really hope you win, I loved your book.
