Customer Reviews

Quietly hilarious: find it, buy it.

Short-listed for the $25,000 Booker Prize in Canada, 'The Projectionist' was a dark horse in a field which included Mordechai Richler and Carol Shields, with unique observational humour without angst.It's set in a small prairie town dying of drought, and its narrator is a high-school teacher struggling with his wife leaving, a new girl-friend, and a town mystery. But it's funny.The story of how the town's movie projectionist makes up for lost revenue as the town dwindles is alone worth the price of the book.Find it, buy it, and wait for the next book from Michael Helm.
