Description

Hilarious and poignant, Homer in Flight draws a brilliant picture of a chronic malcontent roving from high-rise to housing development along the 401 and the QEW. Homer remains utterly displaced, not because of what other people do or don't do, but because he lives in his imagination instead of embracing an imperfect but fairly benign reality.

Reviews

"The beginning of something quite new in the literature of journeys and arrivals."

"Intelligent, ironic and emotionally honest."

"His hope is infectious; his skill is a pleasure . . . a real awakening."

"A novel of many pleasures . . . A talented and confident writer who has produced a work of unsparing vision and compassion that stays true to the people who inhabit it . . . A rivetting portrait of the immigrant tragedy."

"A remarkable achievement . . . Maharaj's characters are vivid and entertaining; Dickensian, in a word."

"The effect is like laughing while you're bleeding to death."
