Produktbeschreibung

• Inhabits the Ontario heartland of Alice Munro with misfits worthy of Flannery O'Connor and Cormac McCarthy, in a queer Thelma and Louise story

• A gay love story unfolds between distant cousins Wes and Cam and drives the desperate action as they attempt to outrun nosy neighbours who keep interfering
• Comparative titles: Francie's Got a Gun by Carrie Snyder and No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
• The story setting takes us from a Southwestern Ontario farm near Wingham and Hanover, and then on a road trip to Northern Ontario

Autorenporträt

Jim Bartley was a playwright before he took to prose. His first two novels were set mainly in Balkan war zones. The Bliss House breaks the mould, riffing on Jim's powerful love of rural and wild landscapes. He lives in Toronto and Dufferin County, Ontario.
