The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal

Informationen zum Autor Sean Dixon is a full-time writer, occasional essayist, stage actor and banjoist. He gave up jobs as a shipper-receiver, a poster boy (of the putting up on billboards variety) and a prison driver to become a writer. His young adult novel, The Feathered Cloak, was published by Key Porter in Autumn 2007. He lives and plays banjo in Toronto and is currently working on his next novel for HarperCollins. Klappentext An original, mischievous rites of passage novel which will delight fans of off-beat fiction such as 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen'. This ultimately very moving, THE LAST DAYS OF THE LACUNA CABAL is set in a time of upheaval: the Iraq war is exploding and people across the world are marching in protest. It's the story of a group of friends who find a family of sorts within their book group, who learn to cope with love, and the lack of it, loss, and the lack of that, and with growing up in a world that is falling apart.
