Robert J Wiersema Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Robert J Wiersema

Vaillant... who is one of Canada’s most respected non-fiction writers, has not only delivered his best book, but probably one of the finest books of the year. Despite its density, and the disturbing nature of many of its scenes, “Fire Season” is an absolutely compelling read.

Some recommendations for the spooky season on my column on @AllPointsWestBC today: My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones The Spirits Up by Todd Babiak The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward Revelator by Daryl Gregory https://t.co/cJJk113pyu

While at times the novel reads like a thriller, and a coming-of-age story, every page is imbued with complex questions and complex answers… "The Other Valley" is a novel of ideas, rooted firmly in the mysteries of the heart. It’s a stunning, surprising read, and a dazzling debut.

It’s a powerful set-up, and Sterling brings considerable veracity to her all-too-realistic vision of the future...This is a dystopia both environmental and human. The suspense builds gradually, excruciatingly, as the various storylines begin to come together, as questions begin to be answered.
