Info promotionnelle
"Fallis writes from another time, when Wodehouse and Leacock and Twain roamed the earth. May he never become extinct." —Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author of A Noise Downstairs

"It's hard not to get excited about a new Terry Fallis novel, and it is equally hard not to fall in love with Adam Coryell, the big-hearted, sarcastic, fountain-pen-obsessed hero of Albatross, a young golf prodigy who just wants to write short stories. In his inimitable style, Fallis has crafted a tender, funny, and compulsively readable novel about what it means to stay true to your dreams, and to yourself. Do yourself a favour and pick up this book—you won't put it down again until the final page has been turned." Amy Jones, author of We're All In this Together and Every Little Piece of Me

"Booklovers, rejoice and buy this book! In Albatross, Terry Fallis has found the antidote for what ails our sorry world. May millions of you benefit!” Alan Bradley, New York Times bestselling author of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

"[Albatross] has a fable-like quality and philosophical depths that Fallis plumbs with deceptive subtlety—you'll come for the story about an athletic whiz kid, and leave contemplating where true happiness really lies, both in Adam's life and your own." Globe and Mail

"Fallis is on point with his vivid observations. Albatross exposes some essential truths, such as the fundamental importance of following your own path." —Winnipeg Free Press

TERRY FALLIS grew up in Toronto and earned an engineering degree from McMaster University. Drawn to politics at an early age, he worked for cabinet ministers in Ottawa and at Queen’s Park. His first novel, The Best Laid Plans, began as a podcast, then was self-published, won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, was re-published by McClelland & Stewart to great reviews, was crowned the 2011 winner of CBC’s Canada Reads as “the essential Canadian novel of the decade,” and was adapted as a CBC Television series and a stage musical. His next two novels, The High Road and Up and Down were finalists for the Leacock Medal, and in 2015, he won the prize a second time, for his fourth book, No Relation. His other novels include Poles Apart, One Brother Shy, Albatross, and Operation Angus, and were all national bestsellers. A skilled public speaker, he lives in Toronto with his wife, and blogs at www.terryfallis.com.
