Críticas
"Both playful and profound, laced with insight from thinkers across a range of disciplines, from music to history, politics to literature, high to low culture."--National Post "strong - heartfelt, funny, rigorous, practical without ever being preachy...a book that feels like a friend."--Montreal Gazette "a learned, clear-sighted and occasionally funny collection of essays...highly persuasive"--Winnipeg Free Press "Thoughtful meditations on the big questions of life (and death) ... Readers will not doubt their authenticity."--The Globe and Mail Ray Robertson's Why Not? is first among the "five Canadian books you may not necessarily hear much about," but which "should be on reading radars everywhere." --The Globe and Mail Praise for Moody Food "An engrossing novel, beautifully written." --Jim Harrison "Robertson shares a literary wildness with Thomas Wolfe." --Cleveland Free Times "A funny, generous, touching novel by a writer of genuine gifts." --Richard Currey, author, Fatal Light and Lost Highway "The real star of Moody Food is the writing, with its displays of sharp humor and deep love of music." --Litkicks.com "Clever, word-drunk, and falling-down funny... Robertson is a moral writer and a bitingly intelligent one, a man who writes with penetrating insight of what needs to be written about: beauty, truth and goodness." --Globe and Mail
Reseña del editor
Featured on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos. SHORTLISTED FOR THE $60,000 HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTION Longlisted for the $25,000 Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction. "Clear-eyed ... Robertson is no stranger to confronting unsavoury truths."--Steven Beattie, That Shakespearean Rag "Many of us sense that the world has too many moving parts and can become utterly defeated. Ray Robertson found a 'road back' in this splendid and intriguing book." --Jim Harrison Shortly after completing his sixth novel, Ray Robertson suffered a depression of suicidal intensity. Soon after his recover, he decided to try and answer two of the biggest questions we can ask. What makes humans happy? And what makes a life worth living? His answers aren't what you might expect from a mental illness memoir--but they're exactly what you'd expect from Ray Robertson. With the vitality of Nick Hornby and a brashness all his own, Robertson runs his hands over life, death, intoxication, and art. Unashamedly working-class and unabashedly literary, Why Not? is a rolling, rocking, anti-Sisyphean odyssey. Ray Robertson is the celebrated author of eight books and six novels, including What Happened Later, about Jack Kerouac's last years. He lives and writes in Toronto, Ontario.
