Sweet Grass by Andy Juniper
Sweet Grass is a slick, comic romp chronicling the bitter-sweet love and bungled life of Booker, a failing, floundering metropolitan journalist, a man perched precariously on the edge. Sweet Grass marks the emergence of a wonderful, wry voice in the rich Canadian comic tradition of Leacock and Richler.
