Informationen zum Autor Dan Dowhal lives in Toronto and has degrees in engineering and journalism. After 10 years with IBM exploring innovative reaches of new computer technology and its social applications, he and his brothers started their own computer-related business. Klappentext What's in a name? Personal misfortune, or so it would appear if your name happens to be "Flam Grub." This touching contemporary fable 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.
