The Recommend

A brilliant, weird, completely-messed-up-in-the-best-way-possible novel on the adverse effects of rampant consumerism. With echoes of Orwell and Ballard, Peter Darbyshire sets himself up at the plate as a Canadian Vonnegut, a CanLit Palahniuk, and hits it so far out of the park W.P. Kinsella is planning to document it in a short story. “My mind is full of other people’s mottos,” says the anti-hero Trotsky, and I agree completely. I have not been able to shake this novel off for months now.

He sings, he dances, he laughs, he loves. He writes once in a while. He refers to himself only as ‘he.’ He is happy you’re all going to buy his next novel Husk. He is disappointed that you don’t seem to care. He will find you.
