Editorial Reviews

Review

"A stack of hot Manwiches with hardboiled ingredients and a strong aftertaste for the steely constitution..." -- Lynn Crosbie

"Burnham's prose has the goods on a lower mainland most people are glad not to know." -- George Bowering

"an unsettling, diamond-sharp book of tiny stories that should be couriered to every doe-eyed, poverty-fetishizing liberal in the country." -- This Magazine
