"In a perfect world, the federal government would establish a Ministry of Humour and put Terry Fallis in charge of that department. The High Road is brilliantly written and hysterically funny. . . . You will laugh out loud on almost every single page."
—Ian Ferguson, author Village of the Small Houses

"Fallis writes in pictures and even his bit players are well-defined characters that the mind’s eye can see clearly. . . . An easy-reading page-turner."
National Post

"It is a giant talent that can elicit so much fun from the dour world of back room Canadian politics. Battling egos, smear campaigns, vigilante seniors and a dipsomaniac First Lady make for quite a romp up and down the Hill. [Angus McLintock] is the perfect foil for all that is inflated in the world of policy and polling. . . . Thought provoking and funny, here's hoping there are many more installments to come."
—Jim Cuddy, author of Blue Rodeo

Praise for The Best Laid Plans:

"Amusing, enlightening . . . it deftly explores the Machiavellian machinations of Ottawa's political culture."
Globe and Mail

"Brisk and humorous."
Ottawa Citizen

"A funny book that could only have been written by someone with firsthand knowledge of politics . . . including its occasionally absurd side."
—The Hon. Allan Rock, former Justice Minister and Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations

"Terry Fallis has found the cure for Canada's political malaise: a stubborn, old, irreverent Scotsman with nothing to lose."
—Tom Allen, CBC Radio host
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 ApartOne Brother ShyAlbatross, 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.
