Promotional Details
“Terry Fallis has written a delightful book about a young man inspired by feminism to contribute to the cause. . . . Funny and engaging, Poles Apart is a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening read.”
—Judy Rebick, founding publisher, rabble.ca, and former president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women

Poles Apart is quite possibly the most fun you can ever have while reading about the struggle for equality. Light-hearted, wickedly funny in skewering every male/female stereotype, and surprisingly touching in some of its more tender and off-beat relationships, this novel lights up the lovability of feminism and its defenders.”
—Michele Landsberg, journalist, author, feminist, and social activist

“I am a blogger. Terry Fallis is supposedly not a blogger. But he’s written a cleverly observed book that’s taught me things about blogging and being a blogger that even I wasn’t aware of.”
—Elaine Lui, author of Listen to the Squawking Chicken and founder of LaineyGossip.com

“From the first page to the heartwarming last page, Poles Apart is a thoroughly delightful book. I laughed and laughed! Bravo to Terry Fallis! . . . Witty, humorous, great characters, touching story . . . true Terry Fallis style.”
—The Afterword Reading Society, National Post

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.
