- Summary:
- Written in nervy, lyrical, beat-driven prose, Ray Robertson has composed a linguistically rich and intellectually challenging first novel that evokes the early Thomas McGuane for its strikingly fresh use of language and richly comedic treatment of thematic concerns.
- Ray Robertson's Home Movies is what readers look for: a superbly written, mature first novel, at once engaging, fresh, and unique.
- Ray Robertson's Home Movies is the best kind of literary debut: a marvellous first novel displaying a honed eye for setting and detail, sparkling real-people dialogue, and characters that are funny, extreme, lovable, and heartbreaking, often simultaneously. Robertson is a fresh and original narrative voice, one of the finest new writers to emerge in North America for some time, and I predict he will be giving us wonderful books for many years to come.
