Description
As always in the remarkable fiction of Douglas Ord, a darkly comic vision usurps our known world and turns the reader's expectations upside down and inside out with affection and humour. Ord's love of life and people comes through in this lovely, peculiar tale of incompetence, bumbling and hope.
About the author
Douglas Ord, author of Tommy’s Farm and Oscar and Jeannie, spent his early years in Iroquois, Ontario, which was destroyed by a flood of biblical proportions when the St. Lawrence Seaway was built. As an anonymous escapee, he then lived in suburbs.
