Milosz

by Cordelia Strube

tagged: humorous, literary, family life
Description

Milo doesn't quite have it all together. His acting career has stalled. His girlfriend dumped him. His miserable father has vanished, and people keep moving into his house. When Robertson, the autistic eleven-year-old next door – the only person Milo really likes – gets bullied, Milo is finally spurred to action. Milo being Milo, that doesn't really go his way either, and soon people are winding up in the hospital, lost in the woods or possibly returned from the dead. Milosz is a novel about family: the blood kind, the accidental kind and the kind you rediscover on reality TV.

About the Author

Cordelia Strube is the author of six previous works of fiction, and has been shortlisted for such awards as the Governor-General's Award for Fiction, the Books in Canada First Novel Award, and the ReLit Award. Her biting, satirical writing and the worlds she creates in her novels have inspired some critics to adopt the term "Strubian" to describe her writing. In addition to her novels, Strube has written several plays for CBC Radio. Strube lives and writes in Toronto.

Editorial Review

Praise for Lemon:

‘Cordelia Strube is a terrific novelist … Strube doesn’t do sugar. She does vinegar. The condiments of the moment need to be sour, and we should honour Strube for her currency.’

Toronto Star

‘Bitingly funny ... In introducing readers to the indomitable Lemon, Strube has taken us on a remarkable trip – part literary kaleidoscope, part emotional roller coaster – into the life and mind of a young girl searching for a love she can’t quite bring herself to believe in.’
