kick ass canadian novel, set in kooteney area, so big big mountains, cold cold winters, wide wide valleys. and all those who exploit taht for a living. lots of dying towns, busted up retired loggers, and ennui. a bit of a muddle plot wise, or character wise, with quite a bit of illicit sex, and the ankle biters thereof, following through... DW Wilson has definitely got a very distinctive voice and uses language creatively; I loved the way he captured masculinity. However, I felt that the voices of his two main characters were too similar and the story itself trailed off halfway through. I almost gave up on this one and actually ended up skim-reading the last part just... I couldn't really get on with this. Not sure why. I won't over-analyse it though.
