'Granta have landed a catch for which we should all be grateful.' Observer At twenty-four and soon after his father's death Sevigne Torrins went down from the Soo to Toronto to make it - to make himself a writer, swagger, shine and recite on the ivory stages, find love; all the old dreams. Part poet, part pugilist, Sevigne soon finds himself penning advertising jingles and hundred word CD-ROM plot summaries of classic novels instead of writing his own. Attracted and repelled by the bright lights of literary fame and the vicissitudes of love he seeks sanctuary from the city's destructive forcefield on an island in Lake Superior. Written with unique lyricism and humour, this New Grub Street for the nineties confirms Steven Heighton as one of Canada's most talented and entertaining writers.
