In this, his second collection of stories, local writer John Lavery confirms his presence as the reigning mad genius of Canadian fiction. Bawdy, brilliant, and so challenging that the lucky recipient will take your gift as a lavish compliment. As a bonus to yourself, it’s great fun to watch the faces of the poor seasonal bookstore clerks when you ask for this one.
"You, Kwaznievski, You Piss Me Off by Gatineau’s John Lavery has got to be one of the most unexpected and unpredictable collections of linked stories in recent human history…As far as I’m concerned, John Lavery is one of this country’s, and certainly this region’s great undiscovered talents. His second collection is a series of stories that are mysteries, narrative challenges and razor-sharp insights into the human condition. Kwaznievski has more innovation on each page than many bestsellers pack into entire novels."
