Fiction
An abandoned farmhouse, a cache of stolen arms, four revolutionaries awaiting their leader, and a comrade just escaped from custody.... In Raymond Fraser's wickedly funny first novel the Popular Liberation Army is ready to stage an operation that will trigger the long-awaited revolution in New Brunswick. The setting, the rough satirical edge and the oddball characters driven by earnest desperation are distinctly Canadian — and all the more entertaining for it. "In the mad few days covered by the story the conspirators' power struggle rages in an atmosphere of surreal humor. But this is more than a funny book. Today's news about guerrilla forces like this make the story disturbingly plausible." READING FOR PLEASURE (U.S.) "An almost surrealistic account.... it represents the best in contemporary satire. Outrageously funny." AARON MICHELSON, Best Sellers, New York "Absolutely hilariously funny... Farce is not easy to sustain, but Raymond Fraser can mix the absurdities of humanity into fine, plausible fiction." MICHAEL O. NOWLAN, The Gleaner "Fraser is a marvelous story teller. Like a literary Muhammad Ali he floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee, always moving, always keeping the reader off balance." DAVE BUTLER, The Times & Transcript
