DescriptionA high-stakes adventure of love, loss, masculinity and morality, the glorious new novel from award-winning author Tyler Keevil introduces two unlikely outlaws. ReviewsPraise for Burrard Inlet: `I was blown away. Beautiful writing...stunning.' MIRIAM TOEWS (author of All My Puny Sorrows) `Vividly told...compelling.' CARYS BRAY(author of A Song For Issy Bradley) `Beneath the deceptively calm surface of these spare and beautiful stories, mad passions boil. There is a transatlantic tradition of studying the interaction between men and nature, in such figures as Hemingway, Carver, McGuane; now Keevil extends and enriches that lineage. He truly is that good.' NIALL GRIFFITHS (author of Grits & Kelly & Victor) `[With his story 'Sealskin'] Keevil has accomplished something rare: a story about rough masculinity that brims with emotion and pathos.' The Writers' Trust of Canada Journey Prize judges, 2014 (Craig Davidson, Saleema Nawaz, and Steven W. Beattie) Praise for The Drive: 'A road novel like no other I've read. Trevor's journey into the American Northwest, and his own subconscious, is wild, magical, dark and crazy.' MATTHEW FRANCIS (author of Mandeville) 'I haven't been as excited about reading a new writer since I read DBC Pierre's Vernon God Little.' JASPER REES, Wales Book of the Year judge 'Keevil is such an accomplished and confident stylist - inventive, engaging, casually hilarious.'
