Description
Finalist, City of Vancouver Book Prize
A blackly comic new novel from Vancouver author Grant Buday, based on his eight glorious years working in a mass production bakery. Dickensian in magnitude, White Lung is a sardonic portrait of B.C.'s racial conflicts and chaotic economy.
Praise for White Lung:
"a rollicking black comedy of errors with a host of unforgettable characters" (Quill & Quire, starred review)
"rarely has there been a novel as astute about life on the punch clock" (The Globe and Mail)
"mordantly funny" (The National Post)
About the author
Grant Buday is the author of four novels: Rootbound, White Lung (Anvil Press), Under Glass, The Venetian, and A Sack of Teeth. White Lung was a finalist for the City of Vancouver Book Prize, as was his last collection of stories, Monday Night Man (Anvil Press). The Green Gold Rush, a screenplay based on the marijuana industry in BC, was a co-winner of the Praxis Centre for Screenwriters spring 1998 screenplay development workshop.
