Last Tuesday, author John Frankel launched his first novel at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club. The event was a great success, with proceeds from sales at the book launch going to the University of Toronto Schools.
I had the pleasure of being John's editor on the journey from manuscript to print, and this book was a joy to edit. Believe me. I don't always get an opportunity to spend entire portions of my day in the throes of laughter, but John is a witty and irreverent writer, capable of both scathing satire and profound wisdom. These are traits that I enjoy—in books as well as people.
The Independent Republic of Harvey Markson is a funny book. It is also cerebral and serious. John himself poses the question: Is it a satirical romp or a psychological thriller?
