Book Synopsis
Debut novel from the author of '19 Knives' and 'New Orleans is Sinking'. 'Salvage King, Ya!' is a gritty, down-to-earth story of a hockey player's last few years in the minors. Drinkwater, an almost-got-to-the-NHL tough-mouthed romantic is skidding through the tail end of his 30s on a high-octane journey of self-actualization. Chip-toothed and soaring he struggles to come to terms with the conflicting aspirations of his youth and the reality of inheriting the family junkyard. Roving.Luminous. Rowdy. Funny. "If it's the best hockey book ever written, does that make it The Great Canadian Novel?" -The Danforth Review "A brilliant work . . . a postmodern Canadian classic" -The National Post "A wonderfully fierce and funny book . . . imagine Hunter S. Thompson on hockey skates" -The Vancouver Sun "Relentlessly, dizzyingly energetic" -The Globe & Mail
