Kiss Me Paperback – International Edition, October 15, 1996
These are stories of a twentysomething generation, growing up in the small towns and cities of Canada, now confronting the universal dilemmas of life in the real world. No tidy coming-of-age collection, Pyper?s stories are populated with characters who struggle to reach out -- sometimes painfully, sometimes comically, and not always successfully -- to make sense of their seemingly fractured condition in an equally disaffected universe. First love, first lust, first high, first terrible moment of awareness that in a single moment, life can change forever -- this is shimmering, profound writing that moves from subtly detailed moments of awakening to often brutally shattering epiphanies.

About the Author
Andrew Pyper's first novel, Lost Girls, was a literary ghost story described as "The Shining as if written by Martin Amis." It won the 2000 Canadian Crime Writers' Association First Novel Award, and the film rights were sold to Jersey Films, the makers of Pulp Fiction and Erin Brockovich. The book was translated into German, Dutch, Italian, and Japanese. His chilling follow-up novel set in the Amazon, The Trade Mission, was called "brilliant" by the New York Times Book Review and "remarkable and compelling" by The London Times.

I'm the author of ten internationally bestselling novels, including The Residence (September 1, 2020).

My first novel, Lost Girls, won the Arthur Ellis Award, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and appeared on both the New York Times and Times (UK) bestseller lists. The Killing Circle was a New York Times Crime Novel of the Year, and The Wildfire Season a Globe and Mail Best Book. I made my way through a BA and MA in English Literature from McGill University, and somehow got a law degree from the University of Toronto.
I live in Toronto.
