What does that mean exactly? After you've spent 400 words tearing down what must have been a pretty awful novel, you suddenly decide that this novel is "a welcome addition to the Canadian literary scene". Do you really think so? I don't really think so. This is really a bunch of BS. And the crap about the experimentality of this novel is a real insult to truly experimental novels. Some honesty might be welcomed here.
