A hard-drinking hockey journalist encounters unsavory characters while on assignment in Kansas and realizes his life can't be the same.
"Ray Robertson is an irrepressible voice, with brass balls and a heart of gold."-Jonathan Evison Peter Bayle-heavy drinker, philosopher, scholar, anemic lover-is in Kansas, writing a feature on middle America's newfound love for hockey. There he meets a morphine-injecting reverend, a reviled reporter, and a drug salesman; obsessed by his self-destructive new friends, Bayle abandons the project and returns home to confront a future and a girlfriend he may no longer want. Ray Robertson is the author of seven novels and two collections of award-nominated nonfiction. His novel David was a Women's National Book Association Great Group Reads Selection, 2013.

Ray Robertson is the author of the novels Home Movies, Heroes, Moody Food, Gently Down the Stream, What Happened Later, and David, as well as two collections of non-fiction: Mental Hygiene: Essays on Writers and Writing and, most recently, Why Not? Fifteen Reasons to Live, which was short-listed for the Hilary Weston Prize for non-fiction and long-listed for the Charles Taylor Prize for non-fiction. He lives in Toronto.
