Weekly "If someone put a gun to my head and forced me to commit that most literary of misdemeanours - naming a voice of my generation - I'd first ask, do you mean . . . that part of my generation that kept a light shining in the chamber of their sweetly flawed and sometimes sinful dreams? And if the answer was yes, I just know I'd blurt out, David Gilmour." - National Book Award winner Bob Shacochis Return to the Top How Boys See Girls "Sexual obsession for a younger woman narrated by a heavy-drinking, pill-popping, middle-aged Toronto speechwriter in a laconic, often funny, take-me-as-i-am style. Second novelist Gilmour gets the voice of Bix, his narrator, just right." - Kirkus Reviews "It is everywhere about the pathos of sexualized seeing, and it has the fascinating effect of a lurid confession, which is to say that it seems true as well as self-punishing, insanely intense, funny and very serious." - The New York Times "Rarely has a midlife crisis been so entertaining." - People Return to the Top Back on Tuesday ". . . the dream book of the year. Built on rising layers of Swiftean poetics with a deftness that makes its finale the pinnacle all modern fiction strives for." - The New England Review of Books ". . . a prfound pensée on the pain of unrequited love - Back On Tuesday is in the end of panoramic interior view of a man drowning in feelings that have been denied an outlet." - The Globe and Mail "Back On Tuesday is an up-to-the-minute psychological novel. It projects a special type of modern madness that I equate with the end of the human line." - William Burroughs "Hilarious and touching." - Playboy Return to the Top |
