Personal misfortune, or so it would appear if your name happens to be "Flam Grub." This touching contemporary novel shows how our lives are entwined with our names and how our destinies are never certain. Full of humour and sadness, quirky wit, and quiet moments of beauty, Flam Grub tells the tale of a young man’s misadventures and his retreat to the security of reading books, work in a bookstore, and a career as an undertaker until fame unexpectedly comes his way. Both an endearing tale and a shrewd send-up of contemporary life, Flam Grub is the second book from the rich imagination and skillful pen of new Canadian author Dan Dowhal.Of Related InterestBury Your HorsesDan DowhalReviews Readers will, I think, find echoes of Charles Dickens and John Irving in the way that this mans life story is told.Whitehorse StarPreviousNextContributorsDan DowhalDan Dowhal is the author of two previous novels, Skyfisher and Flam Grub.
