Book Synopsis
Telescope is a story cycle about Lawrence Teitel, the protagonist of Living Room (Boheme Press, 2001). The collection deals with seeing distances: above all, the growing distancing of Lawrence's family as they cope with new challenges and Lawrence's own maturation, physical and spiritual. The cycle is made up of nine stories, each covering a different stage in Lawrence's development after his family has moved from their old neighbourhood in Montreal to a somewhat wealthier suburb, Ville St. Laurent.

Trade Review
"If The Simpsons were a novel (or closely connected stories) it would be called Telescope by Allan Weiss. Not because of raw comedy, but the fact that the world's history, its creativity, its politics and its humanity is brilliantly filtered through a typical family in an isolated suburb of a place called Montreal." -- Clark Blaise
