Hage's look at the underbelly of organized religion and immigrant life in Canada is unflinching and grim. . . . Cockroach's finely wrought scenes build in tension toward a conclusion that's fitting and yet unpredictable.--Kevin Chong.

Praise for this book
There is something exhilarating about [Cockroach's] relentlessness. . . . The narrator is ambiguous, untrustworthy, sly, and filled with a despair both nasty and noisy; but he is also deeply wounded, oddly lovable, his voice both moving and manipulative.--Colm Tóibín "New York Review of Books"
