... this time from the Vancouver Sun's Weekend review section. Mentions an upcoming review, which I'll bring to Thirsty as soon as it runs.
For now, from The Vancouver Sun:
To Be A Man. By all accounts, Grant Buday's slender new historical novel, Dragonflies, is a stunning work. Buday reconstructs the last days of the Trojan War, focusing on Odysseus. Our review, coming soon, sees it as a companion piece to Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad and says much of its excellence lies in its "subtle and clever interrogation of masculinity." Buday wrote of males caught in a bind in earlier books such as White Lung and Rootbound.
