Elle: A Novel
"[Elle is] a maginificent hail Mary of pure imagination . . . a ribald, raunchy wit with a talent for searing self-investigation . . . Glover's prose throughout, while being consistent in voice, is also a rich blend of elegance and punch, raw affect and slippery allusion." — Globe and Mail"Douglas Glover imagines our history as no one else can . . . Equal to Solomon Gursky in its contribution to Canadian mythography." — Toronto Star"Knotty, intelligent, often raucously funny." — Macleans"A packed read, delivering imagery, history, humour, and wonderfully creative writing." — Edmonton Journal"A wickedly smart narrative and a post-modern, wise-cracking approach to history." — Calgary Herald"A boisterously bawdy re-dreaming of the birth of the nation." — Kitchener-Waterloo Record"A historical novel with a postmodern heart . . . Elle occupies a frozen nether world between fantasy and reality." — Winnipeg Free Press"Lascivious, bizarre, entertaining . . . Glover has a wonderful facility for imagery, language, farce, and the grotesque." — Quill & Quire
