No Canadians have been killed or seriously injured in the writing of Brendan Gillen’s books.
l
At least, that’s what he says…
With seven books to his credit, Gillen is a poet, biographer, and writer of fiction. His writing reflects his schooling in life as a boy on the west coast of Ireland, as a young soldier in the British Army, a construction worker in Western Canada, and a wanderer on the hardscrabble streets of Vancouver’s downtown east side.
He writes with passion and brutal honesty in a three-book series about the breakup of his marriage. His edgy humour comes at you full-blast. And nobody depicts “Wet Coast” weather with such a variety of description and unabashed admiration.
