To distract himself from the heartache, Owen teams up with his brothers and dives into a series of thrilling adventures, including adopting a slobbering, rock-obsessed hound, running for class president, and braving a haunted house in the dead of winter. Along the way, he picks up impressive new life skills, like making the perfect fried egg and mimicking his eccentric Uncle Lorne's famous loon call. But when his memories of Sylvia begin to fade, Owen wonders whether he should try to find her, and what will happen if he does. In After Sylvia, boyish antics give way to more reflective encounters, and Owen learns it will take all of his imagination and courage to face the greatest adventure of all: growing up.

Cumyn artfully combines the dislikeable, morally dubious protagonist of the 20th- century novel with the emergent political realities of the 21st century, with its shift from international to intranational (and interpersonal) war. Fuse the prickly protagonist of Mordecai Richler's Barney's Version with the new-world politics of Michael Ondaatje's Anil's Ghost (in which rival factions in war-torn Sri Lanka go together on arms deals for bulk discounts), add a page-turning plot, and you'd get the probing, admirable Burridge Unbound. Canadian diplomat Bill Burridge is caught in the wrong place at the wrong time: kidnapped while trying to fix a flat tire on the South Pacific island paradise of Santa Irene and horribly tortured for nine months.

Famished Lover

Goose Lane Editions, 2006. Hardcover. Like New. Hardcover with dust jacket, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, slight edge wear, Fiction In Ramsay Crome, critically acclaimed author Alan Cumyn has created a man of intense appetite: for beauty: for human contact: for life and love. In this much anticipated follow-up to The Sojourn, Cumyn continues the story of Ramsay Crome, an artist who never quite came home from the First World War. The horrors of his years in a German prisoner of war camp continue to haunt him, as does the idealized memory of his long-lost sweetheart, his beautiful Margaret. Upon his return home to Montreal, he meets Lillian, a farm girl from the Eastern Townships and is drawn to her youthful vigour, her innocence, and yes, her beauty. These prove to be a potent elixir and they marry quickly. By the time she is pregnant with their son, she wants nothing more than to escape the dreary poverty of their Depression-era existence and flee back to the farm with her husband and child. She wants him to love only her,... ID: mon0000009522 .

Losing It

McClelland & Stewart, 2002. Paperback. Very Good. '() As the title of Alan Cumyn's fifth novel suggests, Bob Sterling is ''losing it.'' Not only does the middle-aged English professor have a drinking problem, but he's also involved in a dangerous liaison with a female student. And then there's his fetish for trying on women's clothing. Told from a variety of perspectives, including Bob's and those of his wife Julia and her senile mother, Lenore, Losing It traces the collapse of a smug academic's secret lives. Cumyn, whose novel Burridge Unbound was a finalist for the Giller Prize, has a lucid, descriptive prose style that owes more to the university farces of David Lodge than to higher-brow novels of the academy such as A.S. Byatt's Possession. Like Lodge, Cumyn sees the humour in the petty hubris of university life. Bob's botched delivery of a paper at the annual Edgar Allan Poe conference and his furtive flight from his department office (while still in drag) are very funny indeed. However, Cumyn's technique of building up comic'''' ID: mon0000077319 .
