The Original Face

By Guillaume Morissette

Twenty-nine-year-old Daniel is an under-employed internet artist who's struggling as much with money and inspiration as he is in his relationship with Grace. Against a backdrop of a digital economy that rewards online platforms instead of content creators, with climate-change anxiety hanging palpably in the air, the resolutely contemporary Morissette immerses readers into a vagabond year of modern love, as Daniel and Grace navigate their aspirations, insecurities and ambitions amidst a culture obsessed with the instantaneous satisfaction of selfies and self-identity. The Original Face is a fresh and imaginative critical examination of work and life in the 21st century by the author of the cultishly popular New Tab, a finalist for the 2015 Amazon.ca First Novel Award, and the 2014 Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction.
