If Ezra Pound were on speed, this is the book he would write. Leznoff's work is gritty, urban and sensual, yet it is lyrical, funny and well-crafted. He has mastered a diversity of forms from concrete and language-based poetry to more traditional narrative work. Leznoff turns a trip to the supermarket into an epic adventure, while finding dark and touching insights into his characters on the side of a mountain in northern Quebec. His agility of writing style is only matched by the mastery of telling a good story.
